Perigee and apogee

Event	Date and time (UTC)	Distance
Apogee	11 September 2027 at 23:36	405,371 km
Perigee	27 September 2027 at 20:11	363,441 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.

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.
