Strict triple STRICT

Full Moon 1 ≥ 405,000 km micro
New Moon ≤ 360,000 km super
Full Moon 2 ≥ 405,000 km micro blue moon

Relaxed triple RELAXED

Full Moon 1 ≥ 400,000 km far
New Moon ≤ 360,000 km super
Full Moon 2 ≥ 405,000 km micro blue moon

May 2026 FM1 = 402,000 km — 3,000 km short of strict threshold. Strict catches both-micro months; relaxed catches all months with a "clearly far" first full moon.

Interval first-difference Δ (acceleration / irregularity)

Mean Δ ≈ +0.76 yrs (essentially zero). Process is stationary — no acceleration or deceleration over 1,000 years.

Strict set skews toward long gaps (739S, 1,000–2,900S) — both full moons simultaneously at extreme apogee is much rarer. Relaxed set concentrates at 69–405S (~5–33 yr gaps).

Frequency report for months containing a super new moon flanked by two micromoon full moons, scanning 1526 to 2526, showing 12 strict occurrences where both full moons exceed 405,000 km and 33 relaxed occurrences where the first full moon exceeds 400,000 km.
