The Moon drifts to its farthest point from the Sun โ
1.0164 AU away โ๏ธ๐
๐ Meanwhile, Earth sits slightly closer at 1.0140 AU
๐ Distance between Earth and Moon: 386,000 km
๐ This rare aphelion happens near full moon,
as the Moon swings to the far side of Earth โ
bathed in sunlight, far from the Sun!
โจ A quiet cosmic milestone in the Moonโs journey
around Earth and through the Solar System.
The Moon may be farโฆ but it never fades from view!
