npub1kg5ktxlealkymv59ghper5klmc8n5vqppclxytkqg9jzk0wkmwhqzvtnac (npub1kg5…tnac) That's a different phenomenon: it's an illusion resulting from comparing the Moon with foreground objects in the horizon. But the relevant comparison here is between two Moons observed at least one month apart. There's no scenario in which someone can perceive (let alone remember) such a tiny relative difference. People even swear they've noticed a super Moon to be larger than the night before/after despite their sizes being identical in this case. It's just a bias.
