moonless¹
adjective
- During which no phase of the Moon is visible to provide light, whether because of cloud cover or because of a new moon. And they played softly in the Aeolian mode a music that was like the wailing of wind through bare branches on a moonless night, and the Red Foliot leaned forth from his high seat and recited this lamentation: […]
- Having no natural satellite.
Moonless²
Where it comes from
From Moon + -less.
adjective
- Without the Moon. We believe the Moon has been beneficial for the development of life here, but we do not know whether the Moon was necessary for life. Perhaps if we lived on a Moonless world we would be grateful we did not have one of those huge chunks of rock hanging so close to us in the sky.
