Can ' The ' be used infront of Full moon?
Yesterday I saw.... Fullmoon. Or Yesterday I saw the Full moon.

Well, you wouldn't normally capitalize "full".– Hot LicksCommented Sep 18, 2018 at 21:56

"a" full moon is probably more common but "the" full moon is fine, "a" because it happens every month while "the" would imply a specific one– mgbCommented Sep 18, 2018 at 21:56

Yes and please remember, "full moon" without an article isn't acceptable. Your "full moon" must follow an article, whether that article is a/an/any/the… or what.– Robbie GoodwinCommented Sep 18, 2018 at 23:22

There is a slight difference.
So "a" full moon would be any full moon, they happen every month.
While "the" full moon would imply a specific one, so I saw "the" full moon last night.
ps. you wouldn't capitalise "Full" although you could capitalise Moon as the name of Earth's moon rather than any other moon
