no way. nope nope nope.
this does not explain the super-huge, yellow-orange horizon-moon i saw a few months ago. i've never seen anything like it. it was just enormous -like otherworldly-enormous. so you'll have to offer some other explanation for that. the color i made up a story for. but the size?

here in portland it's frequently overcast this time of year, but if the clouds clear up, i'll look for the big bright perigee moon! you betcha.
