Geocentric Earth

[Anomalocaris]

Auto-didacticism.... fail.

The auto part certainly didn’t fail.

Let me try this again. Ok, we have phases of the moon visible, night and day, to us except the new moon. We see a waning and waxing moon to full day and night. We only watch solar and lunar eclipses. Why don't we see at least some black dot, during the day, in the sky during a new moon?

Unless the moon is behind the sun. Well, if during a new moon, the moon is behind the sun, then how is the moon NOT orbiting the sun and not the earth?

Ur, because the new moon is as unlit as the rest of black sky we see at night, so during the day it will look exactly as how the rest of sky looks during the day?

Less self-assurance, more study and reflection.   At where you are, there is no possibility that would could fail to help a lot every time.

If the moon really orbits the sun and new moon is when the moon is behind the sun, you might think the moon would actually get more fully lit as it moves to the other side of the sun and closer to new moon, rather than less fully lit? No? Not seeing it yet?

Okay, the moon really orbits the sun and new moon is when the moon is behind the sun, you might think the moon would always look smaller than the sun when it is approaching new moon, because it is further away from earth, then other times? No? Still not seeing it?
