This is most likely the "Moon Illusion". See: http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/moonbig.html

It isn't actually bigger at all.

It looked incredible here in Texas. There was even a halo around it, which just added to its beauty.

Wow, I didn't know, and yesterday, as I was coming home late : I was thinking : "it's so bright it looks like the night scene of the 60's movies when they filmed during the day and added a dark veil of some sort on the camera."

So preety. I sent this to my old Sci teacher. He takes pictures of the moon every night for the kids.

Last night's full moon looked spectacular as it rose out of the ocean in balmy Boca Raton.

I went out this evening to see the moon and try to get some decent pics of it, however, the weather here in Toronto is freeeeeezing! I couldn't use my fingers beyond 2 minutes without them becoming numb. So no pics for me.

Unless you live in the Seattle area, then enjoy the clouds, cold, and slush. I hope to see some nice pics online later, tho!
