Well, I am glad we got that all straight. I have been deeply worried that someone might think the moon really is different sizes at different times of the night.Oerdin for once is right about the smoke affecting the moon's apparent color. Many historical accounts of battles in the 18th and 19th centuries comment on the redness of the moon post the fight, often calling it a blood-red moon.
I may have spoken too confidently.Is Zaku actually contending that the effect of gravity on the moon from the sun is significant enough to bring it closer when the moon is on the side away from the sun. That's the biggest piece of hoo-hah I ever heard. The potential for an eclipse of the moon goes up, but the distance away is always the same. (Yes I know it's spinning in at a few cm per year but that's not going to show on each revolution.)

Again I back my saying. Newton's theory of gravitation states why the moon changes sizeTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
