Perigee Moon

On a more "serious" note ... here's a couple of tongue-in-cheek articles on the Moon made of Green Cheese.

Origin of the term is from the French word "vert" which can also mean "fresh" (or "new") as well as "green". As an aside, the "glass" slipper in Cinderella is a corruption of the old French word "verre" which doesn't mean "glass", but "fur". Well, you'll be amazed what you learn on an astronomy web site

You definitely need to get out more John

What? No Wensleydale?

Dave,
Here's a flash animation from the sequence of images:

(File size 4.70mb so make take a minute to dowload)
I used a free program called Sqirlz Morph to morph the images together into the animation.
