Re:How about the simple "large moon" phenomenon?
they are called 'visual cues'. when the moon is down by the horizon, there are trees and buildings in your field of vision with the moon. you know that these are close(ish) by, and thus the moon gives off the illusion of being big.
when it is high up in the sky there is no point of reference other than stars and empty space, so the size of the moon's image isn't artifically inflated as it is close to the horizon.
cognitive psychology is really fascinating. ever been to the Mystery Spot? there are a handful on the west coast, one namely in Santa Cruz, CA (where I go to school). if you think the moon's trick is good, you should check that place out. balls rolling uphill, people standing slanted, and objects changing size when they are in different locations. cool stuff.
