Perigee and apogee

Event	Date and time (UTC)	Distance
Apogee	3 March 2027 at 05:40	405,206 km

The Moon's distance varies by more than 40,000 km over a month. At perigee the disc appears about 14% wider than at apogee — a difference that is obvious in a photograph and almost impossible to judge by eye, since there is nothing in the sky to compare it to.
