== NASA diagram error ==

The "NASA" diagram comparing the Supermoon and "Micromoon" is erroneous. It displays the Supermoon in lighter shades of grey, as if its surface brightness is higher. This is not the case. The slightly greater brightness of the Moon at perigee is attributable entirely to its increased angular area. A Supermoon is 7% larger in angular diameter than a "normal" Full Moon. It is therefore 14.5% greater in angular surface area than a "normal" Full Moon. This difference corresponds to about 0.15 magnitudes on the standard astronomical scale, which is at or below the limit of detectability without instrumentation.
