A terrible thing to do to yourself is learn what moon phases are approximately visible at what times of day. It's not too complicated—a full moon by definition is opposite the Sun's position, hence night, etc.—but it's surprising how many books out there will have incorrect moon phases. It's clearly not on the list of things to fact check!
