The Moon moves approximately its diameter, half a degree, against the background stars per hour. I a day it moves about 13 degrees against the background stars. A motion I suspect most people don't notice at all.
But then, other than when full, I suspect most people don't notice the Moon at all. And that saddens me.

That feels like I was just looking at it from my back deck...it is just beautiful this evening! Another fabulous capture!
Love the narration, but have a suggestion; "Take a photo of an orrery, somewhere and the superimpose it in a muted fashion on this shot and it will give potency to your words. In case this is something new i leave this link, but you search it out.
