Lunar phobia in phyllostomid bats at La Ceiba, Tuxpan, Veracruz
Ecosistemas y Recursos Agropecuarios, 2018 The term lunar phobia is used to explain the behavior that some nocturnal animals have to avoid periods with greater moonlight intensity. The aim was to determine the effect of the brightness of the new moon and the full moon on the richness, abundance ...

Detailed Structure and Dynamics in Particle-in-Cell Simulations of the Lunar Wake [PDF]
, 2001 The solar wind plasma from the Sun interacts with the Moon, generating a wake structure behind it, since the Moon is to a good approximation an insulator, has no intrinsic magnetic field and a very thin atmosphere.
