Every Full Moon for the last 2 years
Animated Image: [link to www.spaceweather.com]

Laurent Laveder has spent the last two years taking pictures of every full Moon over his home in France, and here is the result. The Moon rocks and rolls, shrinks and swells, never presenting precisely the same face twice.

I predict this thread will go largely ignored by the crowd
who keeps claiming that the Moon isn't where it should be.

but it won't go ignored by the crowd who thinks the earth is wobbling around "like a drunk man", that's why the moon is tilting around like that in that animation....lol

It couldn't be because of camera placement, a little zooming in and out or just not getting the tripod exactly in the same spot every month.......

Actually that second link of the OP tells you why the moon seems to be jumping about.

The moon's distance from earth is not constant, its orbit is eliptical.

Also with the titling of the earth on its axes and its wobble through space (yes it wobbles but its 100% predictable), the moon will seem closer then further each time.

Wait a minute. Didn't they teach us in school that the same side of the Moon always faces Earth? That's only approximately true. Because the Moon's orbit is slightly elliptical (5%) and slightly tilted (5o), we view each month's full Moon from a slightly different distance and angle. The rocking motions are called libration; because of them we can observe not just 50% but rather 59% of the Moon's surface.

Remember theres the anamella of both the moon and the sun, and each full moon is 28 days apart, but those were taken only on clear nights, so I am sure he had to miss 1 or more full moons.

Peace
