TheMoon's phaseand the date of its approach to its perigee or apogee are not synced. When aFull MoonorNew Moonoccurs close to the Moon's perigee, it is known as aSupermoon. On the other hand, when a Full Moon or New Moon occurs close to the Moon's apogee, it is known as aMic...
Click to view a simulation of a lunar month showing phase, libration (tilt), and the size change as the Moon goes from apogee to perigee. Image creditTomruen via Wikimedia Commons The difference is most noticeable at full Moon. If the full Moon occurs near apogee or perigee, an experienced...
Predicts lunar apogee and perigee dates, times, and distances. Predicts date and time of equinoxes and solstices for a given calendar year. Determines apparent visual magnitudes of all the supported celestial bodies. Predicts dates of planetary conjunctions, oppositions, and apsides. ...
• Accurate moon data tab with rise, transit and set times, altitude, azimuth, distance, phase angle, apogee, perigee, ascending node, descending node, right ascension, declination, ecliptic longitud and latitude, angular diameter and parallax. • Accurate ephemeris generation for the selected mo...
Lunar Perigee and Apogee Calculator To display the date, time, and distance of lunar perigees and apogees for a given year, enter the year in the box below and press “Calculate”. Depending on the speed of your computer, it may take a while for the results to appear in the text ...
The Moon, Earth’s nearest neighbor, measures some 3,476 km in diameter (equatorial) and orbits the Earth at a distance of between 356,400 km (perigee) to 406,700 (apogee) at an average speed of 1,022 km/s. With a mass of 7.342 x 1022 kg, just 1.2% of the mass of the Earth...
