3. Full Moon

Full moons have long been thought of as something rather mystical by many people. They have been associated with werewolves, and the word lunatic derives from the word lunar, because it was thought long ago that a full moon would cause some people to lose their minds.

In reality, it is simply a matter of more of the sun’s light reflecting off the moon’s surface than usual. This occurs because of the way the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned with each other. It is because of this alignment that a lunar eclipse can only occur during a full moon.
