  The moon illusion, as it's known, is a trick in our minds that makes the moon seem bigger when it's near the horizon. The effect is most pronounced at full moon. Many people swear it's real, suggesting that perhaps Earth's atmosphere magnifies the moon.

    Even though it's an illusion, it's one of my favorite things in the world to see. One of my earliest childhood memories is seeing a moon illusion when I was 3.

    I didn't know this was happening tonight. Thanks for the reminder, engineer.
