November 2021, Beaver Full Moon
This composite was captured on 2021-11-17 between 4:28MT and 4:43MT. Each image taken 3 minutes apart. Although the moon 'looks' large it is only slightly larger than a Micromoon. Distance from earth 402,147.405 km.
The two extreme points of the Moon’s orbit each month are known as the lunar perigee (closest approach) and apogee (farthest apart).
A Supermoon: A Full Moon that occurs when the center of the Moon is less than 360,000 kilometers from the center of Earth.
A Micromoon: A Full Moon that occurs when the center of the Moon is farther than 405,000 kilometers from the center of Earth.
A Super Full Moon's angular size is 12.5% to14.1% bigger than a Micro Full Moon, and 5.9% to 6.9% bigger than an average Full Moon.
Image details: captured with a fully modified Canon EOSR, 100-400mm lens with 2X Extender at 500mm, 720nm IR cut filter.
