moongazer

Lunar sky observer

A moongazer is someone who contemplates the moon, whether literally watching it or figuratively lost in dreamy thought.

The word suggests idle wonder or romantic reverie: She sat on the porch, a moongazer waiting for the clouds to clear.

In some regional dialects, moongazer refers to a hare, from the creature's habit of sitting upright as if staring at the sky.
