Full moon tonight. Emergency rooms brace. Police add patrols. The moon explains, at most, one percent of any of it.

THE ACCOUNT

Full moon tonight. Emergency rooms brace. Police add patrols.

In 2007, Sussex police put extra officers on Brighton streets, just for the moon.

Then scientists counted. Thirty-seven studies. Crimes, admissions, crisis calls. The moon explains, at most, one percent of any of it.

Half a million human births. No spike. Two million cattle births. Nothing. Every famous moon effect dissolves when someone counts properly.

So why do night shifts swear by it? Your brain keeps score wrong. You remember the one wild night with a fat moon in the window. You forget the twenty without one.

We even named madness after it. Lunatic, from luna. The word survived. The evidence never showed up.

Verdict: BS. The moon is beautiful. It does not make you crazy.
