[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 789471, member: 48483"] Yes the moon is looking a bit larger now due to being closer. But I was addressing a myth people believe that the atmosphere refracts the sun and moon at rise and set to make them appear larger. The refraction does not happen like that. Your brain does the zooming of what your eyes see. It is a documented phenomenon that is not understood yet. [/QUOTE]
