Have you ever noticed that when the moon is directly on the horizon it appears to be a lot closer and larger? Well, it’s not. What’s happening is actually something that your brain does all the time. Think about what happens when you see one of your friends on the horizon. Although they appear to be really small your brain doesn’t actually interpret them as being that tiny. Something similar is going on with regards to the moon. Known as the Ponzo illusion, your brain inflates the size of the moon to make it appear larger than it really is. Don’t believe it? Next time you’re looking at an oversized moon block everything else out with your hands and watch it shrink.

I've only seen the sun at the horizon never noticed the moon. Anyways now that you've mentioned i'll look out for the moon and try out your trick. Hope it works.

Moon? Horizon? For Naija? This ain't Amelicka bro. You only see that in movies.

*Imaginig a renegade, riding his Harley Davidson down the highway, normally a sunset on the horizon but this time a moon* *sighs* Adventure!!
