"Full" should be sufficient instead of "Full Moon", but it's not.

@Annie: Agreed. I got everything but "full moon" precisely because of that reason.

Agreeing with everyone else - moon shouldn't be needed on the end. Also, it should be waxing and waning crescent as it is with gibbous.

The only ones I didn't get were the quarter moons: I thought they'd been the one quarter and the three quarters moon. Apparently not lol

I agree that it should be waxing and waning crescent to be in keeping with the rest of the quiz. But ... I'm just pleased to have finally found a Science quiz that I can get 100% on!! :o)

I tries first quarter moon and last quarter moon. It's one thing to not need the word moon, its another to not accept it.

you should make the crescents and gibbous both waxing and waning or both without it. I figured gibbous wouldnt have it because crescent didnt, so i missed those two.

Funny that when I typed '1st quarter' it was accepted. But when I typed '3rd quarter' it was rejected and yet 'third quarter' worked for 'last quarter'.

if you accept "full" for full moon you should accept "new" for new moon

please accept new. I was shocked when I didn't get it, and I thought I had tried to put moon in there after it, but apparently I did not.

Accepting "full" as an alias for "full moon", and not accepting "new" as an alias for "new moon", is pretty bad. I don't have an opinion as to whether it should be neither, or both. But it definitely should be either neither or both.
