One of the things I am most grateful for living at just this time on earth is that the full moon rises just at dusk and is up in the sky the entire night long. I think that is amazing, astoundingly beautiful, and inspiringly mystical. But surely, there have been whole epochs on earth when this was not the case, when the full moon rose during the day, and was on the other side of the earth during the night.

the moon is full when it is on the opposite side of it's orbit around the earth from the sun. we don't get a lunar eclipse every month only because the moon's orbit is tilted a bit.

it's no more mystical than anything else you can say about orbiting bodies.
