A Moment of Science
That low-hanging moon looks like you can reach out and touch it, but it is actually further away than when it is at the sky's zenith, where it looks smaller!
Why is the moon sometimes orange or red? Why is the sky blue? These questions are closely related!
Why is that autumn moon so bright? The Earth isn't receiving anymore light than usual, the timing is just different!
