Moon at apogee

August 29 @ 9:05 pm

πŸŒ•πŸ“ THE MOON AT APOGEE
πŸ—“ 29 August 2025 | 21:03 IST

Tonight, the Moon reaches its farthest point from Earth β€”
a distance of 406,700 km 🌌

πŸŒ€ Its orbit is elliptical, not a perfect circle,
causing monthly shifts in distance and apparent size.

πŸ“ Appears slightly smaller in the sky
πŸ“ Angular size: down to 29.4 arcminutes

✨ The difference might be subtle to the naked eye,
but it’s a reminder of the Moon’s graceful celestial dance.

From supermoons to micromoons β€”
the Moon’s orbit shapes our view in quiet ways.
