And what is wrong if she is/was a member of the Wiccan?
[I defend other's rights to worship as they choose as long as they
respect other's rights, and don't do anything harmful, illegal, or
dangerous.]

Serious amateur astronomer?
Full moon is technically a point in time, during the night somewhere,
that the moon is at full display to the earth and fully lit. It *can*
happen
during daylight hours to say--the north american continent.
Do you want the 'night' where a majority of the respondents of this
list are located, to be the time; or shall we go by GMT? I can
consult a few charts and post the exact time of the full moon in GMT
time; and all of you can take it from there....

Sometimes by more local and mundane, the full moon is considered
to be roughly three nights; as the moon is going to it's fullest, as it
passes full, and as it just starts to fade. Marine biologists that deal
with sea turtles and grunions and other things, often use that designation.
I agree, this might have some bearing with the quality and caliber,
scope and breadth and topic, of what we get on this forum; but I
don't seem to find any correlation between the phases of the moon
and my gerbils.
They seem to do their things (gnawing the hanging hooks for their
waterbottles off, escaping, procreating, gifting me with babies, etc)
on their schedule, which seems to have no rhyme or reason.
