we're just looking at an amazing picture of the super moon behind the acropolis, and it looks absolutelyis sense. i mean, the moon when it is closest to the earth appears about 15% bigger than when it is further away. if you are experience and looking at the moon in the night sky, you might notice a difference a bit more, but it is not quite as dramatic. that said, the really stunning thing you get with the moon, but thickly if you are lucky enough to see this, and i don't think many people in the uk did, but you get a special effect called moon illusion. that happens every month, every time the moon is full and low on the horizon. it looks a bit bigger because the eye is confused about how far away it is. so you do get, you know, if you are driving along and you see the moon lie down —— lowdown it looks huge, but it is an optical illusion. to see that eclipse is a fantastic site, which by the way, i didn't get to see because it was notjust cloudy but it was raining where i was this morning. i cloudy but it was raining where i was this morning.— cloudy but it was raining where i was this
