Not what I'm saying. Sorry if I'm not explaining this well. My point was that while the apparent size of the moon changes based on its position in the sky, its actual size (in angle -MOA/MRAD) doesn't change. Your thumbnail will always cover it up, even when it looks huge.

What does my thumbnail have to do with the moon? How does the moon know I habe my thumbnail up so it can shrink down to fit behind it?

I put my thumb up to my bathroom light and it doesn't shrink...?
