P3D RE: Moon Size


There is an article on the 'moon illusion' experiments discussed in P3D 
recently in the UK 'New Scientist' magazine. It's on the web at:

http://www.newscientist.com/ns/20000115/newsstory5.html

This suggests that the authors created artificial stereoscopic moons in 
the field using mirrors and projectors! 
Unfortunately the article makes little reference to the extensive past 
literature on the moon illusion.

The images which kicked off the original P3D discussion are at 
http://www.research.ibm.com/news/detail/newmoon.html (in case you've 
lost them).
