Sweep Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 you are talking knackers, it's an optical illusion  according to this the distance from earth does vary, due to a slightly elliptical orbit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_distance_(astronomy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
