You know when the moon is really big? It's not.

Matt Wood just enlighten me with the information that when the moon is low and on the horizon, and it looks much larger, it's not. That's right. It's just not. It's an optical illusion. One evening last week on my way home from work the moon was huge! And I thought there was no way it was my eyes playing tricks. My eyes have been malfunctioning since I was four years old...So I thought I'd try and capture it with my video option on my camera, but damn it, it was teeny! I can't believe I've been deceiving myself for so long! Need more proof? (I did) news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4619063.stm
