A micromoon is arriving June 29th!? 🌕 The full moon this month is going to be 7% smaller and 14% dimmer. This is because it will be at “apogee”, the furthest point in its orbit from Earth. That is about 13,900 miles further away than usual, so this is the opposite of a supermoon. Don’t miss it! #Micromoon #Astronomy #Space #AmazingFacts #ScienceFacts
