Infograph of the Moon's apparent diameter in 2022 and a hypothesis of what would have looked like 2.5 billion years ago (average distance).
From our calculations, we have reconstructed what the Moon would look like on these dates from Earth (omitting moon phases). The simulation shows that the Moon 2.5 billions of years ago had an apparent diameter 18.64% larger and an average distance 60000 km shorter than the current average. The shorter distance of 60000 km was calculated through a study of the rock strata in the Karijini National Park in Western Australia. These rocks, which would testify to a lower Earth-Moon distance of 60000 km, date back 2.46 billion years. The file is available for download at 81 million pixels with a resolution of 9000x9000 pixels.
