Why does the light from the moon not scatter and become blue upon entering Earth's atmosphere.

A Full Moon is about half a million times dimmer than the Sun. As a result, the "blue sky" caused by the full Moon is similarly half a million times dimmer than the "blue sky" caused by the Sun.

The effect is still somewhat noticeable to the unaided eye, though. If you're in a place with dark skies when the Full Moon is out, take note of the faintest star you can see. If you look again a couple weeks later when the Moon isn't up, the skies will have improved quite a bit - you'll be able to see fainter stars. Similarly, the Milky Way looks washed out when viewed during a Full Moon, even if you're looking at the opposite part of the sky.

Astronomers are aware of this effect, and the scheduling of telescope time happens accordingly. If you're observing very faint objects like distant galaxies that require incredibly dark skies to get the best signal-to-noise, you'll likely be awarded "dark time", which are times that the Moon isn't up. If you observe bright objects like planets in our solar system when sky brightness isn't such an issue, you'll likely be awarded "bright time", which are times when the Moon is up.

**TL;DR**: It does, it's just dim.
