It used to look bigger a long time ago. It’s actually moving away from us every so slightly each year. Eventually there will be no more total lunar eclipses because the moon will simply be too far away.
That’s actually because it’s slowing earths rotation down! So as the moon moves away, days get longer down here. If the earth and moon were tidally locked, it would stop gaining distance
Which makes it crazier - the earth was around for a long time before humans came around. Then the sun and the moon become the same size in the sky, and boom! Humanity
It concerns me that the moon’s apparent size is nearly exactly the same as the sun. Cosmic coincidence? I think not.

It’s probably Jupiter. It’s always stealing moons. Why do you think it has so many?
