It looks more like the 25th distance is wrong.... by an order!

Ties in with the thread about the Moon spiraling away from Earth.

It just got faster, that's all...

and I dont think the moon is at perigee March 25th ?

(not that I`m sure that it was the topic in this post and and ephemerides is a strange word for a Norwegian :smiley: )

Of course 5th of March is a full moon, just a shame as not much shadow to reveal detail.

I would have liked to have gone out on the nights preceding this to get the terminator, but I've been unable to. Gutted!

Perhaps I'll make last quarter this month, but it will mean some late nights....
