Super and Micro New Moon

The Moon orbits Earth on an elliptical path, so its distance from Earth changes during a lunar month.

The point closest to Earth is called perigee , and the farthest point is known as apogee. When the New Moon is close to the perigee, it is known as a Super New Moon.

A Micro New Moon, on the other hand, is when it is farthest from Earth, at apogee.
