Said to be the biggest moon in about two decades. Did it look bigger - Not actually. Was it brighter - Oh yes, definitely. NASA link
Lesson learnt from yesterday's experiment is that the sun/moon appear to be larger, when at the horizon (a supposed illusion). Today's moon definitely appeared much bigger and I guess it is seen in the difference in clarity.

It is the rotation. Even a few hours makes a huge difference.
