A Micromoon happens when there's a full Moon or a new Moon at the same time as the Moon's approach to its apogee â the point on its orbit farthest away from the Earth. It's also known as Micro Full Moon and Apogee Moon. Micromoon looks approximately 14% smaller than a Supermoon. Because it is further away, the illuminated area appears 30% smaller, so it might look a little less bright. In reality however, there is no difference in the actual size of the Moon whether it is a supermoon, a Micromoon or an ordinary full Moon.
