Message: <blockquote data-quote="pickup" data-source="post: 946472">I know that there is a psychological effect in play when the moon is near the horizon, and that seems to be discussed in some scientific literature but it seems to me the moon seems larger to us than it actually is no matter where you see it.Some planetariums bring this fact home when they depict actual size to scale models of the solar system . The moon always seems too small to the observers of these models. It is something that I have researched over the years and I have never really gotten satisfactory answers and those that have researched it more thoroughly and scientifically than I have admit that there are no scientifically proven answers to this as it seems to involve psychology and biology at the very least. Hence a lot of theories.</blockquote>
