I love the Venus twist. Yes, this display was well planned indeed. Lovely picture.

But I thought that the Sun’s or the Moon’s looking larger at the horizon rather than up higher in the sky was an optical illusion that does not show up on film. But I actually measured the diameter of the sun on the horizon against the highest orb, and it actually is bigger at the horizon. Sigh... Another thing I was positive I knew, blown to smithereens.
