Tomorrow's Moon an Optical Illusion



The full moon on Wednesday might look huge on the horizon. But it's not. It's an optical illusion that sky-watchers have known about for thousands of years -- but still can't totally explain. Check out the cool video below!


Full moon on Oct. 12. This is the smallest full moon of the year. It is also called the “Hunter’s Moon.” Jupiter is very prominent in the early evening sky rising just above the head circle of Cetus, the Whale.
