Details:
The last full moon of this year occurred on December 19, and it is also the minimum full moon of this year, with an apparent diameter of 29.67 Arc seconds. The total lunar eclipse on May 26 coincides with the maximum full moon this year, with an apparent diameter of 33.69 Arc seconds, which is approximately 1.14 times the smallest full moon. This actually means that the distance between the minimum full moon and the earth is 1.14 times the distance between the maximum full moon and the earth. I happened to shoot these two full moons with the same focal length, so I compare them together. In the figure, if the apparent diameter of the minimum full moon is 10cm, the apparent diameter of the maximum full moon is about 11.4cm. It can be found that the size of the moon we see varies greatly throughout the year.
