Astronomy For May

Considering we have a full moon on deck in a couple of days here's a fun fact you can use to impress your friends and acquaintances.  

This evening our moon will reach apogee.  

The moon's orbit around the earth is elliptical, consequently, every 27 days it reaches both apogee and perigee.  Today, at 7:47 PM, the moon will be at its furthest from planet Earth - 252,428 miles.
