Waxing gibbous
Moon age 13.6 days
Next full moon: July 29, 2026
Full moon and earthquakes, full moon and births, full moon and headaches — we test the correlations blamed on the moon, one by one, against public data. Is there really any link between the lunar phase and these events? The answer is almost always "no difference" — yet we still check what the moon genuinely does move.
