The Full Moon exerts no more gravity on you than does any other phase. So Lunatics have no real excuse. — PolitiTweet.org

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

FYI: Full Earth seen from the Moon is about 60x brighter than full Moon on Earth. Earth is not only bigger in the sky, but with clouds and ice and oceans, much shinier than the Moon, itself about as reflective as the sidewall of a car tire. — PolitiTweet.org
