When we don’t pay attention to the sky, when full moon start blasting out of the sky, we jump to our cameras and start shooting the moon. Poof. Disappointment. Poof. You don’t have right equipment. Poof. Next you are buying an expensive camera and lenses to full fill your desire. However; moon always come back therefore; little planning goes a long way.
The Moon’s average orbital distance at the present time is 384,402 km (238,856 mi),[10][11] or 1.28 light-seconds. This is about thirty times the diameter of Earth, with its apparent size in the sky almost the same as that of the Sun (due to it being 400x farther and larger), resulting in the Moon covering the Sun nearly precisely in total solar eclipse. This matching of apparent visual size will not continue in the far future, because the Moon’s distance from Earth is slowly increasing.
