      Explanation: Near the horizon the full moon often seems to loom large,   
      swollen in appearance by the famous Moon illusion. But time-lapse image   
      sequences demonstrate that the Moon's angular size doesn't really   
      change as it rises or sets. Its color does, though. Recording a frame   
      about every 60 seconds, this image also shows how red the Sun can look   
      while low on the horizon. The featured montage was taken from Cagliari,   
      Sardinia, Italy, the day after June's Strawberry Moon, a full moon   
      dubbed a supermoon due to its slightly larger-than-usual angular size.   
      This Strawberry Supermoon is seen rising behind the Devil's Saddle, a   
      mountain named for the unusual moon-sized dip seen just to the right of   
      the rising moon. A shrinking line-of-sight through planet Earth's dense   
      and dusty atmosphere shifted the moonlight from strawberry red through   
      honey-colored and paler yellowish hues. That change seems appropriate   
      for a northern June Full Moon also known as the Strawberry or Honey   
      Moon. A Thunder Supermoon -- the third of four supermoons in 2022 --   
      will occur later this month.
