Max, Interesting article. As you will be aware, it contains the quote "Apollo astronauts never landed on a full moon and they never experienced the magnetotail."

Would I be right in thinking that there are official statements that say the opposite?

Could there be a distinction between a full moon as perceived from Earth, and a full moon as perceived by the astronauts who might not be in a direct sun - Earth - moon line?

There never was nothing.
