If you’re from the US, the moon is the size of a dime when viewed from 6 feet away. I don’t know what a universal measurement would be for folks outside the US.
Anyway, it always cracks me up when people get hyped for a “super moon”. This tiny object in the sky is going to be indistinguishably less tiny!
My cousin continues to share every single super moon hype post, and somehow (after several years) he still hasn’t noticed or acknowledged that it never amounts to anything of note.
My mom does the same thing. “Make sure you go look at the moon tonight. It’s a super blue blood harvest moon that won’t happen again in a million years.”

What about if it’s viewed from 238 thousand miles away?
You would need a pretty good telescope to see a dime from 238 thousand miles away.
That’s why I use a microscope, since it’s so small.
