Explanation

Selenophobia is the fear of the moon, derived from Greek 'selene' meaning moon (also the root of 'selenography' - lunar geography). This may be related to fear of darkness, lunacy myths, or werewolf folklore. It is distinct from scolionophobia (school), somniphobia (sleep), and iatrophobia (doctors).
