Not all astronomers, but some.
Why? Because it’s too bright. While for many of us a full Moon is a striking addition to the night sky, for astronomers the bright light is a blinding one.
‘I hate the Moon,’ says Dr Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. ‘The Moon is evil, because we complain about how bright all these new satellites are, but the Moon is the brightest satellite of the Earth by far.

I say: Thank GOD for the moon! Don’t they realize how many ‘bullets’ the moon has taken for the Earth over its time?

The moon is a racist, homophobic, misogynist, climate denying POR*.

I guess they want to get rid of the earth’s atmosphere too, i.e. clouds and such.

Exactly! If you destroy the moon, you’ll kill billions of people! This environmentalist cult needs to be abolished, once and for all!

Maybe they should do astronomy during the day, when there’s no moon to bother them.

Neal Stephenson wrote a novel
SevenEves, about such an occurrence. Except for the wiping humanity out part it was pretty encouraging.

Or blood red. The rest of the time the moon is white and racist.

Well according to a lot of the ‘flat earthers’, there is no moon. It is merely a projection on the plastic dome that covers the earth, put up by NASA to keep the taxpayer money flowing to their agency
