Possible explanations have only appeared in recent years. It looks like by trying to make an adjustment your brain gives you a distorted image. Truly amazing.

- jsprogrammer 11y agoAh, so as I thought. There is no difference in apparent size. >A simple way of demonstrating that the effect is an illusion is to hold a small object (say, 1/4 inch wide) at arm's length (25 inches) with one eye closed, positioning it next to the seemingly large Moon. When the Moon is higher in the sky, positioning the same object near the Moon reveals that there is no change in size.
