Message-ID: <1690@hplabsc.UUCP> Date: Tue, 21-Feb-84 09:48:35 EST Article-I.D.: hplabsc.1690 Posted: Tue Feb 21 09:48:35 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 23-Feb-84 04:39:15 EST Organization: Hewlett Packard Labs, Palo Alto CA Lines: 11 There has been some discussion on the net recently regarding the apparent increase in size of the moon when viewed on the horizon as opposed to viewing overhead. Can someone clear the air on this one? Does the moon appear larger when viewed near the horizon due to an atmospheric affect, or is it an optical illusion, or...? thanks GEORGE
