One time I found the moon very big and the color is very scary.  Hmmm..The Color is orange with a little bit reddish colored last february 3, 2012.  Can anyone explain this?

You probably saw the moon as it was low on the horizon, as it was rising in the sky. That would explain why it looks so big. The orange colour is also due to it being low in the sky, as the light has to get through more of the atmosphere to reach your eyes. I've seen it myself, though not for several years. :)
