of the moon and the stars

Why does the moon look so much smaller when we start to look beyond at all the stars?

It's really all about perception.

You can either have the large moon light up your night sky, or you can have all the stars. You can look at one thing and make that your reality, or your can look at all your other options. You could see one big problem or you could see a million opportunities. You always have a choice in the matter, and I like having choices.
