Dozen of science site, offical or not, are saying that moon is always the same apparent size. Most of these site are explaining the perception of size as a simple legendary optical illusion. Some personnal experience lead me to believe that it was not!
After about 6 month waiting, I finally had a chance to have one of these very large moon that are said to be "illusion".
Making a simple measurement device that will measure the apparent size of the moon and compare it with an everyday moon about 3 months after, it appears that the large moon was in fact more than 2 time the size of the regular moon.
Who said first that this was an illusion and why? Any explanation? Any one with similar experiment?
