The Moon at aphelion

August 7 @ 11:44 pm

The Moon drifts to its farthest point from the Sun —
1.0164 AU away ☀️🌙

🌍 Meanwhile, Earth sits slightly closer at 1.0140 AU
🌌 Distance between Earth and Moon: 386,000 km

🔄 This rare aphelion happens near full moon,
as the Moon swings to the far side of Earth —
bathed in sunlight, far from the Sun!

✨ A quiet cosmic milestone in the Moon’s journey
around Earth and through the Solar System.

The Moon may be far… but it never fades from view!
