| From Classbrain.com Astronomy Sometimes you just can't believe your eyes. This week is one of those times. On Wednesday night, June 18th, step outside at sunset and look around.

You've just experienced the Moon Illusion. Source: NASA Source URL: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/16jun_moonillusion.htm?list68782 © Copyright 2004 by Classbrain.com |
