There are eight phases of the moon:New;Waxing Cresent;1st Qrt;Waxing Gibbons;Full;Waning Gibbons;Last Qtr and waning cresent.The phase of the moon is determined by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon and Sun. The geometry of the way the light from the sun falls on the moon and is Observed by us here on earth, the full Moon and New moon seem to last longer than the other phases. But, in fact, the moon is at any particular phase for just an instant, like 12:00 noon, it happens and then it is past. This optical illusion probably contributes to many myths about things being more likely to happen when the Moon is full.The tug of the Moon and Sun can affect the oceans, giving us the tides. The light of a full moon can be very bright, affecting animal's (including people) hunting habits. The full moon has been known to cause people to grab a sleeping bag, bottle of wine, loved one, telescope, drawing pad, or any combination of those items and head outside for a night under the Moon. That is pretty powerful..
