Sun and Moon Near and Far

Hi everyone,

I've compiled a couple more comparison images, in addition to the perihelion/aphelion image weeks ago. I've attached all of them here.

Thanks for looking,

Tom

Thanks Tom - I often have wondered about the apparent size difference of the Sun at apogee and perigee.

Very interesting Tom. As usual, you have a slightly "off mainstream" approach.

A very effective illustration of the effects, and very well presented. Thanks.
