The perfect timing of this photo will make you double-take. It’s amazing how big the moon looks from sea level. This “Moon Illusion” is a trick of light that makes the moon appear as a huge celestial object when it’s near the horizon.
NASA claims that the “illusion”, as it is called, is due to how we perceive visual information. The trickery of the moon makes for some amazing photographs. For example, this photo, in which a boat’s sail appears to be a celestial object.
