is when a Full Moon or a New Moon coincides with apogee, the point in the Moon's orbit farthest away from Earth. The most recent / future Micro Moons are as follows:

2020-Tue-24-Mar Micro New Moon
2020-Fri-2-Oct Micro Full Moon
2020-Sat-31-Oct Micro Full Moon
2021-Wed-12-May Micro New Moon

Does that make 2021-Tue-11 & Thur-13-May the smallest viewed crescentest of New Moons?
