Solstice Moon Illusion

 

 

June 16 , 2008: Sometimes you just can't believe your eyes. This week is one of those times.

 

On Wednesday night, June 18th, step outside at sunset and look around. You'll see a giant form rising in the east. At first glance it looks like the full Moon. It has craters and seas and the face of a man, but this "moon" is strangely inflated. It's huge!

 

You've just experienced the Moon Illusion.

There's more, and a GORGEOUS photo of the Moon Illusion too at the NASA webiste:
