Why does the moon look so big tonight? I am walking home after dinner. The street is quiet and dark. Then I see a huge moon. It sits low beside the houses. I stop and take a photo.

Later, the moon is high. It looks much smaller. But here is the surprise. The moon is still the same size. Near houses and trees, it only looks bigger. Our eyes and brain play a trick. Scientists still ask why this happens.

So, on your way home, look up. A big moon can make a small walk special.
