Lunar Disk at 99.8%
This image shows the full Moon of 5 December 2025, a supermoon illuminated at 99.8%.
At this phase, the Moon appeared about 7.7% larger than its average apparent size due to its proximity to perigee.
Its increased brightness and angular diameter made the main lunar maria and craters particularly well defined.
This image of the 5 December 2025 supermoon reveals a subtle chromatic tension between green-leaning and violet-leaning tones.
These hues result from the interplay between diffraction at the lens edges, atmospheric refraction, and the Moon’s own mineral composition.
Regions richer in iron tend to shift the reflected light toward green-olive tones, while areas with higher titanium content naturally push the spectrum toward violet and blue.
Photographed at an optimized horizontal angle, the image maintains this delicate balance of optical forces, allowing each wavelength — and each mineral signature, to assert its presence in the final structure of the photograph.
