| First Quarter perigee moon at 22:18 ACDST on January 7. Precise First Quarter is midnight on the seventh and perigee is midnight on the eighth (a 24 hour distinction). |
First Quarter apogee moon at 23:11 ACST on August 1 at precise First Quarter, apogee is 6 am on the 2nd (an ~7 hour distinction). The scale distinction might be clear in telescopes. |
First Quarter Moon at 20:43 ACDST )10:13 UT) on January 7 the inset exhibits the Lunar X (prime) and Lunar V (backside), the dates and occasions that the Lunar X might be seen are proven within the desk under |
Dates and time Lunar X and V are seen. Sometimes seen from about 4hours from the beginning time, occasions in color are daylight saving occasions.

A yr of full Moons displaying the variation in dimension because the moons transfer from perigee to apogee. I additionally present the apogee and perigee First Quarter Moons and the dates and occasions you may see the Lunar X and V. All of the moons are proven on the day and time they’re full (except they’re under the horizon, by which case the scale at astronomical twilight is proven and the time of precise full moon is proven as effectively), and though this isn’t the optimum time for dimension comparisons, you may clearly see the scale distinction over the yr (evaluate Apr 13 to Nov 5) the unique scale for all is 2 levels of subject of view cropped down). Though the sphere rotation of the Moon makes it much less clear, you can even see the impact of libration (January 3 vs Could 13)
In 2025 we’ve got two good Perigee Moons in a row (November 5, December 5). Nonetheless, as you may see the variations are refined, and it requires a eager eye and good reminiscence to differentiate a perigee “tremendous” Moon from extra peculiar moons, one of the best distinction is with the apogee “mini” moon of April 13, although this isn’t a great apogee Moon.
That does not imply you should not attempt although. Daniel Fischer has been capable of see the distinction, you may learn
his account and viewing suggestions right here:
Photographing them might be extra rewarding. You may see photographs of perigee Moon and apogee Moon pairs from 21 Jan 2019 right here and 10 August 2014 right here.Suggestions for photographing them are right here.
There may be additionally a pleasant Complete Lunar Eclipse on Monday September 8 within the early morning, so you’ll have to disturb your sleep to see it.
