If you've ever noticed that even here on Earth, occasionally the moon looks
very large. It's a matter of perspective when viewing the moon. Not long
ago I was in downtown Chicago walking down the street towards Lake Michigan.
The moon was out and it looked absolutely gigantic! Other times the moon
may appear as small as a dime. It's some kind of optical illusion.
