by observing a full year of full moons – as seen in the first gif, taken between may 2005 and april 06 – you’re able to note the observable size difference in the moon at perigee (when nearest to us) and apogee (farthest from us), a difference of 10 percent.
the wobble, due to the moon’s elliptical orbit and slight axial tilt and inclination, is know as lunar libration. the second gif shows the moon’s phase and libration during october of 2007.
