Smallest Moon

On its way to the space rocks Trojans, NASA's Lucy probe observed its smallest asteroid target named Polymele, which was expected to pass in front of a star. As the asteroid passed, it blocked the star briefly allowing astronomers to observe the star blink along with another object. Located some 200km from Polymele, astronomers think that is likely...

Stargazers will witness the smallest and faintest full moon of this year as the celestial body reaches the farthest position from the earth tomorrow. Tomorrow's full moon will appear around 12.5 per cent smaller and its light intensity 20 per cent lesser as compared to normal full moon.
