Why do events such as the Full Moon will have both a date and time?
Because the time shows the exact moment when the the moon will appear most full. Depending on where you are in the world, you will want to plan your full moon adventure on the night that is closest to the full moon. For example, the September 26, 2007 full moon happens at 3:45 pm Eastern Time. If you're in Europe, that's 7:45 or 8:45 pm. If you're in New Zealand, that's 7:45 am on the following day - September 27th. So if you're in London, you'll want to howl at the moon at night on the 26. But if you're in New Zealand, it's the night of the 27th when the moon will appear brightest.
