Hi there
The other night, i came out of morrisons, and the moon was absolutely huge. It is the largest i have ever seen, it was probably 10 - 15 times larger than normal, i could almost reach out and touch it.
Now, the moon didnt suddenly come close to the earth over night, so why was it so big. The next nihgt it was back to normal size.
Is it some sort of optical illusion caused by bending of light, or magnifying of light in the atmosphere?
cheers
