To all who claim the moon REALLY is bigger on the horizon
('cause of refraction, or whatever):

WRONGO!!

Take a multiple exposure shot of the moon rising.  Measure
the ACTUAL size of the images on the film,  They'll all
be identical.  It's strictly an optical delusion(sic).

Ref. Scientific American (someone else already mentioned
the article, but I think it was more like 10 years ago).
