The full-moon at moonrise often appears much bigger (and so does the sun at
sunrise).
OK, so it's also supposed to be closer to us in its orbit to boot, but I
reckon that extra closeness is not THAT close that you're going to be able
to visually notice the difference.
Eye-catcing it was... but no more eye-catching than many another moonrise at
full moon.

To me, it did seem noticeably larger and brighter than normal. That was
fifteen minutes ago, when it was already well away from the horizon. Of
course it could have been a psychological effect, since I knew that it
was supposed to be "super".
