Re: Moon closest in orbit last nite..WOW!
The Moon was 350.000 km away from Earth, while it's average distance is 385.401 km; plus the fact it was full and it was close to the horizon -our brain has a tendency to increase the size of objects that are at a distance, compared to familiar objects in the horizon (like trees or roofs), while it's not actually bigger than when it's higher up.
