Hearts scoring is not standardized. Indeed the rules generally are not standardized. The game of hearts is here typically called Black Lady or Ricketty Kate. House rules abound.
"Shooting the moon" is a name that is usually applied to a game where instead of trying to avoid taking in the Q spades and hearts in tricks, a player succeeds in taking in all of the scoring cards.
A typical scoring system, with a goal of low scores, is to score 13 points for Q spades, 1 point for each heart, and minus 10 points for 10 diamonds.
With this scoring system, shooting the moon would score minus 13 for queen of spades, minus 13 being 1 each for the 13 hearts, and minus 10 for the 10 diamonds, for a total of minus 36 points.
Shooting the moon is difficult to achieve, but it can really give your score an enormous boost.
