The Moon drifts to its farthest point from Earth —
a celestial retreat 🌌
📏 Distance: 406,700 km
📐 Appears slightly smaller in the sky
🌗 Brightness subtly dims (but hard to notice)
🔄 This happens due to the Moon’s elliptical orbit,
which stretches its monthly journey by 14%.
✨ From supermoons to micro moons,
this dance of distance changes how we see our nearest neighbor.
Look up — the Moon may be smaller,
but the wonder is always immense!
