Proof that the Moon's orbit is elliptical! Here I've combined pictures taken this morning near apogee (left; bad weather forced me to take the pic in broad daylight) and on the evening of July 8 near perigee, both taken with a compact camera at the same - maximum - zoom setting. Thanks to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Astronomy_Activities_2009/message/6664 for the idea!
