NASA Science News for June 24, 2010
This Saturday morning, June 26th, there's going to be a lunar eclipse—and for many residents of
the USA, it's going to be a big one. The eclipse will occur as the Moon is setting, prompting the
"Moon Illusion" to magnify the event to truly beautiful proportions.

Not visible in Europe, alas. However, I have seen a moonrise eclipse, and the Moon Illusion made it spectacular. Particularly as I watched the Moon rise out of the ocean, for maximum illusion effect.
