π 29 August 2025 | 21:03 IST
Tonight, the Moon reaches its farthest point from Earth β
a distance of 406,700 km π
π Its orbit is elliptical, not a perfect circle,
causing monthly shifts in distance and apparent size.
π Appears slightly smaller in the sky
π Angular size: down to 29.4 arcminutes
β¨ The difference might be subtle to the naked eye,
but itβs a reminder of the Moonβs graceful celestial dance.
From supermoons to micromoons β
the Moonβs orbit shapes our view in quiet ways.
