One of the strangest easter eggs in the original GTA trilogy is also one that's very easy to uncover. If you aim at the moon with a sniper rifle and shoot at it, it'll change in size, swapping between a smaller moon and a larger moon. There was never any reference to this within GTA like there usually is for its easter eggs, so many considered it to be an oversight from the developers more than anything else.

As it turns out, that's exactly what it is. (who previously explained why Claude was silent⛦ in GTA 3) was asked about the moon and why it changes sizes. Vermeij explained that it's actually something that was accidentally left in the game after it was implemented as a way for the developers to choose how big they wanted the moon to be.

Vermeij said he was given a texture for the moon in GTA 3 and made sure it was visible at night with a reasonable size. However, he was then asked to change the size of the moon by some Rockstar artists, who didn't know what size they actually wanted it to be as some wanted it smaller to be realistic and others wanted a big moon for dramatic effect.

Since I was working on the sniper rifle, I made it so that the moon 🅘toggled through 3 sizes (small, medium, large) as th🍷e player sniped it. The artists never got back to me so I just left it in. It was still there in SA

In response, Vermeij made it so that shooting at the moon with a sniper rifle would change its size, which would let the artists decide which one looked best. In the end, the artists who asked for the size of the moon to be changed never got back to Vermeij, which caused🔜 him to just leave it in, cementing the moon as an ☂iconic part of GTA easter egg history.
