COSMIC MESSAGE

On October 26, 2007, the Moon reached its full phase within hours of perigee, its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. This made it the largest full Moon of the year. The image contrasts this 'perigee Moon' with the 'apogee Moon' from April 3, 2007, when the full Moon was at its farthest point, appearing noticeably smaller.
