"It’s when the moon is at its closest to earth, so appears more brighter and enlarged. "
It's an optical illusion that the moon looks larger when it is close to the horizon because you see it in relation to things on the ground like houses etc.
When it's higher in the sky your brain doesn't process the size in the same way, when in reality it is exactly the same size on the horizon as it is when it's higher in the sky. |

It was actually closer over the weekend , did you know every time we have a full moon (approx every 29 days) they are given a special name! Bit of trivia for you. |
