Newton's theory of "Universal Gravitation"

The Moon orbits around the Earth. Since its size does not appear to
change, its distance stays about the same, and hence its orbit must be
close to a circle.

Not true, seehttp://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0709/lunation_ajc.gif


Apparently, the large apparent size of the moon in
August- the 'Harvest Moon'- is because that is when the
moon is closest to us, not?
