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.

Times from an ELP-derived lunar theory, accurate to within one arcminute. Watch the phase change in the live simulation. A new moon is when a solar eclipse becomes possible; a full moon, a lunar one.
