The appearance of a huge Moon on the horizon, juxtaposed behind cityscapes or mountains or trees is called the Moon-on-Horizon illusion. It’s actually no bigger than when higher in the sky. Yup. It really is just an illusion. — PolitiTweet.org

Full Moon tonight. Little Known Fact:: Tides raised on Earth by the Moon alone are roughly the same size no matter the phase. But at new & full Moon, solar tides add to lunar tides, which is what makes them larger. https://t.co/n6NPgWcEIX — PolitiTweet.org
