那位国外友人对此的看法。
If the full moon comes at noon (local time), that evening's moon will look slightly more full than the moon the evening before. But it will look almost identical to the moon you'll see in the west before dawn that morning.
The differences here will be very small ... almost no perceptible different in the actual appearance of the moon itself. From one evening to the next, however, there will be a noticeable difference in the time of moonrise. The moon rises - on average - about 50 minutes later each day. So - assuming the full moon comes at noon (local time) - you'll see the moon slightly above the eastern horizon at sunset on the day before full moon. And you'll see the moon rise into a darkened sky, after sunset, on the day of full moon. If the moon were full precisely at sunset (again, local time) you'd see it rise at sunset - because the full moon is opposite the sun.
