Just to be clear, Full Moons impart no more (or less) gravity or tidal forces on Earth than any other phase. The very high (and very low) tides we see during Full Moons come from the Sun’s tidal forces adding directly to the Moon’s. — PolitiTweet.org

Full Moon tonight — the closest one to the September 22 equinox. Northern Hemisphere cultures traditionally calls this one the “Harvest Moon.” Full Moons rise at sunset & set at sunrise — the only phase to do so — allowing farmers to pick crops throughout the night. https://t.co/5SOSnGceds — PolitiTweet.org

As you admire the rising Full Moon over the eastern horizon, if you think it's huge, you're a victim of the “Moon-on-Horizon illusion," where the Moon among hills or trees or buildings looks much larger than it actually is. One reason for science — to bypass sensory delusions. https://t.co/vzqYWosy6v — PolitiTweet.org
