Because we all know human body are 90% of water and this weightlessness(by the moon's gravity pull) makes some people a little more excitability with increase in mental activity. Some have less control of their inhibitions. This may also make you feel a little elated. Some men are turning into "werewolves", some women are a little more adventurous of the sexual habits? If you could look at the planet Earth today from space, it would look more like an egg with the one head pointing at the moon.

extton: I remember reading about the high tides on opposite of the Earth on a Full Moon that would make it looks like the shape of an egg.

I'm not sure what the rest of your "question" is all about, but for that part where you ask "...Do you think we weight less today because of the Full Moon's(where I am) gravitational pull?..."

The gravitational attraction of the moon on people here on Earth has nothing to do with what phase it's in. Mass and distance is what determines that. Here's a comparison between how much gravity pulls on us here on Earth and from the moon. --

EARTH - 9.81 meters/sec/sec
MOON - 0.0003 meters/sec/sec

Eh, that's not actually true.

It is true that, when the moon is directly above you, you weigh a little less than normal. The difference is so minute, though, that you wouldn't even be able to measure it on a scale. You would not be able to see a bulge on the earth from space, either. The moon simply doesn't pull on it enough to make an visible difference.

The human body is not 90% water; that's an exageration (it's more like 65%). The water content is largely irrelevent anyway; saying a human has water in him is not the same as saying pizza has sauce in it, or something.

Water, in a human, is the solute in which chemical reactions take place. These reactions are the product of electromagnetic forces; gravitational forces, on earth, are so weak that they're irrelevent. You work the same way, regardless of the position of the moon.

The relationship between full moons and wierd behavior is a human concoction; it does not exist in reality.

One has also to take account of the suns own pull opposite the earth on the daylight side, but like the tides of the ocean in a corresponding manner but in an almost infinitesimal amount the Moon indeed would reduce ones weight here on the surface of earth. A little known fact, standing besides some very large mountains can deviate measurably ones weight from pointing straight down to somewhat offset towards the mountain. I wonder if standing next to a mountain has some kind of effect (psychological) on people?

i will in basic terms echo what quite a few others have already mentioned. For floor based telescopes, the ambience factors the main substantial restrict to truthfully resolving capability as amateur astronomers all all over the realm are in basic terms too nicely conscious! Even under the steadiest circumstances the exterior point resolving capability of telescopes on the propose lunar distance could be interior the order of tens if no longer hundreds of meters and consequently no the place close to fantastic sufficient to make out human beings on the Moon. on your question you point out with regards to the excellent moon. What makes you think of the excellent moon might advance determination? whilst the Moon is complete it is likewise at its brightest and that's relatively the worst time to objective and make out ins and outs. From Earth we matter on shadows to make out the smallest information on the Moon and by using complete Moon of direction there are no longer any shadows on the seen floor. evaluate the component seen for the period of first quarter and complete Moon. think of roughly it; whilst the solar is incredibly low interior the sky our shadows are very long and stretch out horizontally around the exterior of the Earth. So the attitude subtended horizontally around the lunar floor via an astronaut as seen from Earth at around the time of first or final quarter could be far greater desirable than the attitude subtended via the astronaut himself or herself. We consequently have a plenty greater desirable probability of seeing very small products on the Moon via looking at shadows. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that until eventually now you ask, sorry no you nevertheless won't be ready to make out astronaut shadows on the Moon from Earth. The Lunar Reconaissance Oribiter craft it incredibly is in orbit around the Moon has taken severe res photos of the lunar floor which do teach kit and footprints left at the back of via the Apollo astronauts.

It was full yesterday all over the earth...need a refresher on elementary earth shadow stuff?
