As the sun set and the moon rose on the horizon last night (driving in southern Virginia), the moon looked ridiculously large. I'm not talking beach ball large; I'm talking about a medicine ball for King Kong and Godzilla to play catch with.
First Question--Why?
Also, it was as orange as I've seen it.
Second question--Why?
I obviously am not too into astronomy usually, but the freakishly large look and the cool color got me interested.
Thanks for any help from the more enlightened.
