The moon illusion, as it's known, is a trick in our minds that makes the moon seem bigger when it's near the horizon. The effect is most pronounced at full moon. Many people swear it's real, suggesting that perhaps Earth's atmosphere magnifies the moon. But it really is all in our minds. The moon is not bigger at the horizon than when overhead.

Going into last week, I had a very strategic, three-touch plan to seeing The Dark Knight. I would see it opening night, at midnight, with all the freaks and geeks. I would then see it a few days later with my parents. I would then see it a third time on IMAX, as Ive never seen a real movie on IMAX before. I did see The Dark Knight on Thursday as planned, and it was glorious.

Over the past two and a half years, NASA astronomers have observed the Moon flashing at them not just once but one hundred times. The impactor was a tiny fragment of extinct comet 2003 EH1.

A new analysis of volcanic glass recovered from the moon in 1970s found the rocks contain traces of the constituents of water, challenging a long-held notion that the moon is perfectly dry. Their discovery suggests that water was present deep within the moon when the pebbles were formed during violent lunar eruptions 3.3 to 3.6 billion years ago.

"I don't have hang-ups about the way I look. I can see myself in the mirror when I'm all done up and think I look pretty hot," Telegraph quoted her as saying. "But I can see myself every day and see this round Dutch doll face. We've got so crazy about our faces and our bodies. I guard my privacy partly because I like to keep my head free from all that paranoia," she said.
