Besides the familiar moon illusion [e.g. Hershenson, 1989 The Moon Illusion (Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates)], wherein the moon appears bigger when it is close to the horizon, there is a less known illusion which causes the moon's illuminated side to appear turned away from the direction of the sun. An experiment documenting the effect is described, and a possible explanation is put forward.
除了常见的月亮错觉(例如赫申森,1989年《月亮错觉》(新泽西州希尔斯代尔:劳伦斯·埃尔鲍姆联合出版社)),即月亮在地平线附近时看起来更大之外,还有一种鲜为人知的错觉,它会使月亮被照亮的一面看起来背离太阳的方向。本文描述了一个记录该效应的实验,并提出了一种可能的解释。
