   The photo above displays the angular size difference between a
   supermoon and a "micro" Moon. The smaller Moon was the  Cold Moon of
   2020 (captured at  apogee on the 30th of December 2020), and the
   supermoon was the  Pink Moon of 2021 (captured at  perigee on the
    27th of April 2021). The supermoon was almost 10% bigger in the
   night sky due to its closer approach to Earth.
   Photo details: Nikon D5600 camera; Sigma 150-600 lens; 85% of 280
   images stacked via Pipp and Autostakkert for each Moon shot and
   processed together in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop.
