“At dusk on Nov. 22, position yourself somewhere with a good view of the eastern horizon and, if it’s clear, you will see a pale orange moon appear. As it rises it will gradually increase in brightness and turn yellowish. As it’s just rising, it can look huge, especially if you see it between two buildings. It’s an illusion. The human brain usually sees the moon as larger when it’s positioned lower down in the sky.”

That explanation is only for the West Coast people. If you are East Coast you just look up.
