Tonight is the solstice full moon, meaning that the Moon will be very low on the horizon and will appear to be huge. As explained in this Science@NASA article, this is an optical illusion based on how our brain processes data - but makes for wonderful pictures regardless. Hope you get a chance to look at it.
