Hey all, I just saw this, thought it was pretty cool. Amazing how much the full moon changes from one month to the next. http://www.photoastronomique.net/geant/0505-0612.html

Actually, there is an APOD from 2001 that shows a single lunation, which I think even more graphically illustrates the Moon's perceived "wobble" during a single orbit of the Earth:

APOD - Lunation

I dunno, this one seems even more illustrative of how the Moon changes its aspect as it orbits us.
