This well known phenomena has been debated forever. However, photo tests show that the moon is not magnified. Optical experts attest that it is a mental illusion due to the moon's proximity to objects on the horizon or nearby. Whatever. . .  It sure looks larger to me. :-) Mike Beech 3D Tips: www.digital3dstereo.com/tips001.htm 3D Stereo Magic Mastering 2D to 3D Conversion http://www.digital3dstereo.com --- On Thu, 12/23/10, Brian Wallace <Starg82343(-at-)hotmail.com> wrote: From: Brian Wallace <Starg82343(-at-)hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [Anaglyphs] Luner Eclipse-Brian, Tim To: anaglyphs(-at-)yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, December 23, 2010, 11:59 AM   ? Thanks for commenting Tim.  The next night (Friday), for some reason, the moon looked as large as I'd ever seen it when it was low to the horizon.  Later when it was higher in the night sky it appeared more normal (smaller) size.  I assume the thicker atmosphere acts like a magnifying glass when viewed towards the horizon.   Brian   ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Johnson To: anaglyphs(-at-)yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2010 10:26 AM Subject: Re: [Anaglyphs] Luner Eclipse-Brian Fantastic Brian!
