As you admire the rising Full Moon over the eastern horizon, if you think it's huge, you're a victim of the “Moon-on-Horizon illusion," where the Moon among hills or trees or buildings looks much larger than it actually is. One reason for science — to bypass sensory delusions. https://t.co/vzqYWosy6v — PolitiTweet.org

Just to be clear, Full Moons impart no more (or less) gravity or tidal forces on Earth than any other phase. The very high (and very low) tides we see during Full Moons come from the Sun’s tidal forces adding directly to the Moon’s. — PolitiTweet.org

While you admire the Harvest Moon this evening, don’t search for the non-existent “Man in the moon.” Instead, identify Wilma Flintstone, in profile, clearly visible in the lunar terrain. https://t.co/8FDhW1du3g — PolitiTweet.org
