Larger than the Sun
How long will I have to wait for the Moon to shrink

Hi Ron
I was wondering how large the super moon was myself. Use SNP get "info" on the moon and start changing the day or month by pointing the mouse pointer at it and using the wheel to advance or retard. I found that the Angular size of the moon was normally around 30 arcmins and it increased to 34 arcmin on Mar 19. By advancing the month until July 2013 it was at 34 arcmins again. I don't know how accurate this is but it is interesting.
I hope I am not telling you something you already know?

Another way of showing the size difference of the Super full Moon and the Sun.
