Point at which 2 objects appear to be the same size?

Please provide the name of the point at which 2 objects appear to be the same size.

For example a basketball and the moon...

Please note that it is NOT the LaGrange point. That has to do with gravitational forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_point)

Update:

I searched on the answers below and none appear to be correct. Does anyone know this?

    I don't believe the point has a name. It's just an optical illusion that depends on a number of factors, not just distance.

    I believe seriously, though, it is called the Eliptical Point.
