Shredding the Sink

Phil has a picture comparing the largest the moon appears to the smallest it can appear. Another picture on Wikipedia maybe illustrative, contrasting the supermoon to a more average moon. It is kind of annoying how it seems like 90+% of the coverage of the phenomenon skips over saying actually how much bigger the moon will look, so people end up imagining a lot more than a 7% change from normal. It can lead to some awkward or annoying exchanges between people and those more familiar with the details, shattering their imagination...

As he said, you probably wouldn't notice if it someone didn't tell you and showed a photo contrasting the sizes. As far as subtle effects you probably don't notice about the Moon, the libration of the moon is a lot cooler in my opinion, as illustrated in a (simulated) animation here.

If the moon wants to pick a fight with us, I say let's teach it a lesson.

Boo, missed it because of clouds.
