Without trying to be pedantic I think the reason why you see the moon larger is because it's much closer to the earth than the sun, and because it's on a different azimuthial angle (lower in the horizon basically). As far as smaller moons I haven't seen any specially made for GWX so I would suggest you get any one you like from http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/. Just make sure you enable it using JSGME to be on the safe side:up:

On the plus side, that big moon makes for some very dramatic screenshots.;)

I like the big moon. Of course, hardly ever get to see it. Bloody weather. :damn:

There you go :up:

HEALTH WARNING: I've never actually used it myself :arrgh!:

Thanks ! :up:

When I saw the large moon on a GWX patrol last night I thought, "man that is awesome." It does actually look like that depending on time of year, time of month etc, so I don't know why you'd want to change it. It is smaller at various other times.

The sun and the moon have the same sizes, when seen from Earth. During a solar eclipse the moon fits almost exactly over the sun, when seen from the right spots on Earth.

In reality the sun is a very much bigger space object than the moon or the Earth. But in GWX it looks very nice with the big moon on the night sky.

P.s. and OT: There's a lunar eclipse tonite visible IIRC from Eastern NA at sunset and
in full over Europe and Africa...

Yes, her in Portugal and spain we can see it in total...(if the wheater wasn't so crappy... full clouds in the sky)

I've been on many deployments (two different aircraft carriers and a few cruise ships) where the moon seemed to cover a quarter of the ocean. I'm not into astronomy, but there you have it. I know what I've seen regardless.
