Remember that the moon is pretty small in the night sky. If you face due
north, then follow a line throught the zenith (directly above you) and
back down to due south, you've coverd 180 degrees of sky. The moon is
about one quarter of one degree across. That aint  very big. Remember the
"bigger, brighter moon" last December? It was technically bigger, but not
so the human eye could detect
