Summary: The moon illusion is a visual deception where the Moon/Sun near the horizon is perceived larger than when higher in the sky. Artists often exaggerate the size of the Moon/Sun in their paintings. Measurements from paintings show that painters overestimate the Moon's size on average by 2.1 times, while test persons in landscape photos overestimate the Moon's size by 1.6 times.

Summary: Despite the lack of a magnetic compass, Viking sailors could navigate successfully with a sun-compass in sunny weather, and may have used sky-polarimetric Viking navigation (SPVN) in cloudy or foggy conditions. This study, through simulations of Viking voyages, reveals the significance of night sailing, navigation periodicity, and sailing date for the success of navigation.

Summary: This study found that in the Northern Hemisphere, the ideal azimuth direction of fixed-tilt monofacial solar panels may turn eastward from south if afternoons are cloudier than mornings on average throughout the year. This deviation can be considered in the design of buildings with vertical walls or oblique roofs.

Summary: Multiple hypotheses have been proposed for the functions of zebra stripes. The most supported hypothesis suggests that zebra stripes make them less attractive to horseflies. Sunlight creates temperature gradients on the skin of zebras, which are difficult for horseflies to distinguish from the gradients caused by the black and white stripes. Field experiments confirm that horseflies spend more time on black stripes in the sun due to their warmer temperature, increasing the chance of being swatted by the host.

Summary: In 1961, Kordylewski discovered two bright patches near the L5 Lagrange point of the Earth-Moon system, which are known as Kordylewski dust clouds. Despite initial skepticism about their existence, the L5 Kordylewski dust cloud has been observed and confirmed multiple times through visual, photometric, and polarimetric techniques. In this study, the polarimetric evidence for the existence of the L4 Kordylewski dust cloud is presented, further corroborating the existence of the L5 Kordylewski dust cloud for the third time.

Summary: This study reveals the effects of centrifugal acceleration, Coriolis acceleration, and athlete's height on the world-record ranking of shot put and hammer throw. Height has the largest impact on range, followed by centrifugal acceleration, while Coriolis acceleration has the least impact. Using the release velocity of the shot/hammer as a better measure of world-record ranking than the range.
