Typically I am looking at it rise as I drive home from work. It always looks abnormally large at and right above horizon. I used to try to stop and take photos. It was always a fail. Then I learned later about "the moon effect" as it is called. It is not an optical illusion like a mirage because you can take photos of those. It is a brain trick illusion, and pretty common among humans. There are many other documented tricks the brain does where it doesn't interpret the information eyes give it the right way. Study color theory and there are famous examples. Remember the blue and yellow dress that went viral?</blockquote>
