You may have noticed that sometimes, when the moon rises over the horizon, it seems unusually large. On several occasions, I've stopped to wonder at it shining behind the skyline—it's always a treat. However, if you stay awake long enough, you might see that later in the night, once the moon has risen higher in the sky, it has reverted to its expected size. This apparent change in size is known as the moon illusion. Great minds from Aristotle to Isaac Newton have wondered at its cause, and I was surprised to learn that its cause is still debated. The most accepted explanations suggest the illusion arises from comparing the moon as it passes the horizon with known objects, such as buildings and trees, that provide a sense of scale. Higher in the sky, we can only compare the moon to the vastness of space and the sheer size of the sky itself. To experience the full grandeur of the moon illusion, try a telephoto lens with the moon rising next to a cityscape.

I still find somewhat remarkable the complexity in a simple button on the web. These are just 6 common states that may each have their own appearance and behaviour.…I still find somewhat remarkable the complexity in a simple button on the web.
