Why does the moon look so big now?

If you've noticed and were wondering - From the BBC News website, Why does the moon look so big now?

Update: This is from the SF Chronicle



A full moon rises over the San Francisco skyline on Tuesday, the first day of summer, as seen from Fort Baker in Sausalito. Because it was the day of the summer solstice, when the sun makes its highest arc in the sky and the moon its lowest, the full moon was hanging lower in the sky than at any point since June 1987.

Moon looked surreal in Chicago too. Colors were great, I have never seen such color before.
