   Depends on the mass/size. It may appear bigger than Luna, Earth's   
   Moon, but it could be actually smaller, less massive than Luna but   
   could be significantly closer making it *appear* larger.   
      
   For that matter, the lens size of the camera makes a difference too... if we   
   assume a telephoto lens, the moon appears larger against a foreground object   
   than with a wide-angle lens.
