It's incredible that we can all see the full moon regardless of where we are on the planet as long as the sky is not obscured by thick clouds. And the January full 'Wolf moon' can last up to three days... Isn't that wonderful? So here are some more photos from last night's full moon, January 18, which had a ring around it due to the altostratus and cirrus clouds that were widespread high in the atmosphere. Well, the full moon is associated with a plethora of symbolism and beliefs. One is that they associate it with human behavior. This is according to the Lunar theory, which states that when the moon is in its full phase, people have a tendency to go insane, hence the term "lunatic." Do you believe in that? or have you experienced weird feelings during a full moon?😁 One scientific explanation could be due to the moon's gravitational pull. A full moon, as we all know, causes high tides. And just as much as what it does to the ocean, it may have an effect on brain waves... Remember that the brain is composed of 80% water. Another observation is that some people have difficulty sleeping during a full moon. A scientific explanation they discovered is that people have lower levels of melatonin during a full moon. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the sleep-wake cycle, causing drowsiness, and it can be suppressed by the moonlight at night. Remember that we have trouble sleeping when there is light in the room; this is the same effect that the full moon has on our melatonin. There are many more urban legends about how the full moon affects people, but these are the only ones that have scientific explanations so far. Leaving you this quote by Mahatma Gandhi, "When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the Moon. My soul expand in the worship of the Creator." Yeah, this is a reminder for us to worship the Creator rather than His creations!😇 Peace and love! #Moonbeams @Mitochondria Certified #selenophile Original content creator💯 No filter North Caloocan, Philippines🇵🇭

Glad you wrote something about this here on noise. Although I already knew most of this (as a scientist)😅
I am also looking at the full moon now sis. Mesmerized by its beauty.
