(A) Mean disparities of elevated and horizon variables and moons relative to reference moons in arc-min, at half-distance for each of five subjects, and SE. (B) Mean disparities and distances of moon when adjudged to be one-half its original size. MH, horizon moon; ME, elevated moon; SEH and SEE, estimates of standard errors in perception of horizon and elevated moons, respectively.
