Now that's an interesting thing that I never knew. I wonder what other things are affected by a full moon?
I've read that tonight's full moon will be bigger than ever, but it'd have to be down by the horizon for that. I recently saw it like that, by the horizon and so huge I thought it was coming at us. It was gorgeous, all shiny white with a haze around it. Someone else saw it a bit later and said it was the orange of a harvest moon then.
