minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up33·5 months agoIt is actually quite interesting how similar in perspective-skewed size the sun anf moon are.
minus-squaresparkle@lemm.eelinkfedilinkCymraegarrow-up10·edit-25 months agoDepends a lot on the date/time, the moon’s size in the sky can shift a LOT based on a lot of factors to being a fraction of the sun’s size to being much larger than the sun (or I think supermoons look bigger than the sun, idk)
minus-squarechiliedogg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoI got to see 2 eclipses this year, and they were very different due to the relative size of the moon appearing smaller in August than in April. FYI, annular eclipse WAY less-cool.
