Aug,10 will be treated to the largest and brightest full moon of the year.
An optical illusion known as “the Moon Illusion” makes the moon appear larger near the horizon, because of the Ponzo effect
Ponzo illusion :- It is a geometrical-optical illusion given by Italian psychologist Mario Ponzo.
He suggested human mind judges an object's size based on its background. He showed this by drawing two identical lines across a pair of converging lines, similar to railway tracks. The upper line looks longer because we interpret the converging sides according to linear perspective as parallel lines receding into the distance.
Sky-watchers gazing at the full moon rising on the evening of Sunday, August 10, will be treated to the largest and brightest full moon of the year—also known as an extra-supermoon
Such tight timing won’t occur again until 2034

Try using tripods and remote timers to stabilize your shots. Also, a telephoto lens (200 mm and up) will allow you to zoom in on the lunar disk while getting a distant foreground object to appear larger in the same frame.
And if you miss this week’s lunacy, remember to mark your calendar for September 9, for your next chance to catch the so-called supermoon..
