The image shows a photograph of the full Moon next to a photo of the Sun. Horizontal lines across the image marking the top and bottom of the Moon show that the Sun appears smaller than the Moon, today.

Today, 2025 01 03 marks Earth's closest approach to the #Sun, known as #Perihelion and by a remarkable coincidence we have a #Supermoon as the #Moon is close to #Perigee.
I imaged the Moon a couple hours before it set and the Sun shortly before noon.

Took some photos of last night's Cold Moon, the last #Supermoon of 2025. This only happens when a full #Moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to #Earth in its elliptical orbit, a point known as #perigee. The next full Moon, on 3 January 2026 is the #WolfMoon & will be yet another supermoon

This doodle happened from us discovering a memory of Alyxian's 'friendship' with perigree. One of us joked, Well, Devas are known to be shapeshifters and the moonweaver is the goddess of lovers. <//u//<
I was going to throw in the #Perigee, but it did not make the cut. #Earth #Lunar #Solar Processes. I would be wandering through life aimlessly without this knowledge. Knowledge is a process.
On 6 Oct the almost full #Perigee #Moon produced some spectacular #lunar #AtmosphericOptics. Very bright right side #paraselene (#moondog) with long #ParaselenicCircle fragment, very prominent lunar #CircumzenithalArc, #UpperTangentArc. Our Auroracam also caught a 120deg paraselene Oxfordshire, UK!
A stunning close-up image of a crescent moon, showcasing the contrast between the sunlit crescent and the dimly lit night side illuminated by earthshine. This image illustrates a young lunar phase, similar to the largest new moon of 2015, which coincided with an equinox and solar eclipse visible from parts of the Arctic, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Stunning high-resolution image of a full moon captured on December 22, 1999, by Rob Gendler. This was the last full moon of the Y1.9Ks, coinciding with the winter solstice and lunar perigee. The image showcases the moon's craters and texture in exquisite detail.

#IndieAnimationDay has passed, but I still want to highlight some projects for you to look into. Magical Mom & Perigee are animated shorts you can watch right now, but TheMoon&Me & Wheels&Roses are still in the works. Each are gorgeous works of art!🥰🎨🖥️

A supermoon happens when a full moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, called perigee. This makes the Moon appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than when it’s at its farthest point, or apogee. #science #sciencefacts #moon #supermoon #perigee #apogee

The moon in Cabo Frio, Brazil. So pretty. I have just understood the reason why: today it has reached the perigee. Loved to witness this.

Clear sky. Yay! The moon is absolutely beautiful tonight. #supermoon #perigee
