The Moon at Apogee & Perigee

This is an incredible picture of two halves. On the left is the  Supermoon on Dec 4th 2025, imaged at Perigee when it was just 354 kilometres (220k miles) to Earth. 

On the right is an image taken on 21st April 2024 when the moon was very close to Apogee, 404 kilometres (250k miles). 

The difference is huge!

Both images captured with a Seestar telescope by Peter Rippington from the Luton astronomical society.
