The Moon does that here too. :’) The usual retort is that it appears larger because of its proximity to familiar objects, whereas in the sky, above the trees, it’s by itself. I’ve never bothered to try the “paperclip” test suggested by The Straight Dope, it wouldn’t be accurate anyway; a grid over a telescope lens would settle it. But regardless, I just enjoy that giant moon on the horizon. The difference between apogee and perigee for the Moon is about 5 per cent.
Have you been enjoying the “giant” moon along an earth horizon, or along an ocean horizon? I have only seen what I described as truly giant over the ocean, never over land and only rarely. My boyfriend and I got in an argument over this, but I know I have spent a great deal more time at the shore than he has and have only seen this phenomenon a few times in my life.
