Video of the Week

Week 10 (13/04/2015 - 19/04/2015)



The Moon Illusion by AsapSCIENCE

Have you realised that the moon seems to be larger the closer it is to the horizon? Maybe the moon is closer to us, that's why. But wait - are you sure about that?

What if the moon never really changed in size, and it was all nothing but an optical illusion? How can this be? In this week's video, the duo from AsapSCIENCE attempt to explain the Moon Illusion and why it happens.

The Video of the Week is a newly introduced feature. Each week, we will highlight a new physics-related video. The selected videos will cover a wide variety of issues, ranging from academic to pedagogical or even introspective in nature. Through these videos, we hope to inspire students, broaden the horizons of their physics knowledge and stimulate thinking and reflection. Stay tuned for more exciting videos in the coming weeks!
