Moon Illusions

I was reading a cool article on moon illusions and have linked the title of this post to the actual article, but tonight is the night for a moon illusion. The moon will appear larger on the horizon because of the high summer sun. Kinda like a teeter totter - when one is high the other is low. Kids might enjoy seeing this tonight. It varies across the country, but anywhere from 8 -9:51pm will it be visible. Thought I'd share!
