Why would the moon rise in the west?

This is only an illusion, but the explanation is still uncertain. Sometimes it's said that the Moon seems larger near the horizon because we see objects on the ground which influence our perception of the Moon's size.

However, the illusion can still happen when the Moon is viewed over a clear sea horizon. So that can only be a partial explanation at best.

I have photos of the moon rising in the West tonight. It is now where it normally would be in the early morning. Happened tonight and previously. The earth is not spinning. We are lied to about EVERYTHING.
