    Yeah. There’s only two situations where the Moon looks “unusual”; lunar eclipses (sometimes called “blood moons” in headlines because of course they need to make that even more clickbaity) and conjunctions (where it’s not really the Moon that looks unusual, there’s just an unusual dot of light right next to it). The rest of the time it’s just lunar phases like normal, with imperceptable-to-humans size changes of a couple of percent due to the Moon’s elliptical orbit.

    I mean, looking at a full Moon is still neat, but it’s probably not worth a news article.
