7"X5" WC pencil on paper
I am using a new paper today and I am not sure that I like it, it doesn't seem to work as well with this medium anyway. Maybe I just need to get used to it. I probably should have painted the moon tonight, it is rather spectacular. I am not sure that it looks bigger, but it is certainly bright.
Although the Moon is in it so called Perigeum, and at a distance of 356 566 km. and being the closest distance in the period 2000 - 2015 it's not the brightest Moon, this will occur the next full Moon (11 Jan. 2009) Why is this?
ReplyDeletebecause the Moon isn't exactly full at the moment, ... and knowing that for example a quarter Moon is only 8% of the full you can see how rapidly it goes. Not exactly full isn't meaning exactly in the opposite of the Sun, that isn't the fact, not exactly full meaning that the Moon is 4 dgr. above the ecliptic.
Wow!Thanks for the information René, I will be sure to look out for the next full moon.
