How the moon "looks" to the naked eye, as it rises, is an illusion anyhow. The size, while nice, wasn't its primary feature to us. The closeness of its orbit was barely noticeable but its light show WAS spectacular.
Oh, I doubt we'd have known it was 4% "closer" to us but for, yes, the astro-media, in its boredom makes a big thing out of such things, but I didn't care.
The wife and I went outside and it was gorgeous and wonderful night. We still enjoy such things out here, in our Rural Living, because we remember far too many nights spent in the city where one never sees anything. In other words, we stop to take notice and we are grateful.
