Comparison of the moon at apogee (left) vs perigee (right) about a half a year apart. The image at perigee was taken during a lunar eclipse on January of 2019 and the one from apogee on July of 2018. The visual difference is a result of the Moon's eccentric orbit which causes its distance from Earth to vary by about 50,000 km over a complete orbit.
