Catch the full moon tonight (12 Dec) if you can

[DeeBye]

And the most striking time to watch is when it's rising or setting because of psychological effects, the mind always interprets the moon as bigger when close to the horizon, this is actually called the moon illusion.

I was going to post a link to an article that debunked the psychological effect of the moon appearing larger when it is closer to the horizon (I read it once I swear!), but it turns out that there are a boatload of reasons why the moon appears larger when it's closer to the horizon. You geeks will love this link because it is full of graphs, overly complex explanations, and an ugly colour scheme.

I saw the moon last night, and it was glorious. It was a clear night and the ground was covered with snow, so the moonlight was doubly bright.
