MORE MINI FULL MOON

Alan Dyer photographed the mini-Moon rising over the Santa Rita Copper Mine, near Silver City, New Mexico, "making for a coppery Moon rising over a copper mine," he says.



Some people say you cannot tell the difference between a supermoon and a mini-Moon. There are no rulers floating in the sky to measure lunar diameters, and without a reference, one full Moon looks much the same as any other.

Dyer plans to find out: "With luck," he says, "7 lunation's from now I will shoot the Sept 27th perigee super moon with the same optical setup to create a big & little Moon comparison pair."
