I'm sure it is complicated to me because I am ignorant some call stupid. I thought this was easy peasy! It may be easy to you but, to me, it makes no sense! I'm going to have to examine some models of the orbits in their plains. I have to visualize this until it is easy peasy. Thank you for your time and leadership.Quote:So what your saying is that during a new moon the moon is being eclipsed by earth? Because the moon orbits the earth. So, no reflection. Therefore, not visible to the naked eye. And because, only the earth facing the moon could see it otherwise, anyway, only with a enhanced eye looking in the correct place. I'm cool with that.
But then, I should be able to see the new moon, using a telescope, when I am rotated to face the eclipsed new moon. Of course, the other side of earth has no chance at such an observation. How am I doing so far?
Who said anything about an eclipse? The moon isn't being occluded, it simply isn't in the proper position to shine by light reflected by the Earth.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
