Minimoon

But weddings are stressful, and it makes sense to take a day or two after saying “I do” to relax and make mad, passionate love (read: sleep in and watch TV). So consider a minimoon: a quick two-night getaway close to home.

Rachel Moschke, Editor of Wedding Ideas magazine, said: ‘Most of us worry about saving up for our wedding day, but it seems we’re reluctant to give up the quality time together that a honeymoon offers. A minimoon is the perfect way to start married life, without busting the budget.’

The couple are yet to go on their honeymoon because of their strict working schedules but did find time for a ‘minimoon’ after tying the knot.

This photo of Earth's newest minimoon was taken by the 8-meter Gemini North telescope on Hawaii's Maunakea.

Earth has only had two minimoons on record – one in February 2020 and the other in 2006.

These included a rare 'minimoon' named 2020 CD3, a tiny asteroid less than 3 metres in diameter that had been temporarily captured by Earth's gravity. The minimoon broke away from Earth's pull last April.

The trouble is, the difference in size between Supermoon and Minimoon, though apparent when placed side-by-side, is only 14 percent, too small to be seen with the naked eye.

At its closest point, perigee, the moon will obviously appear largest. Such a "maximoon" has an apparent diameter about 13% larger than a "minimoon" at its most distant point, apogee.
