[QUOTE="_stu_, post: 178671, member: 194669"] You only see the moon coz the light of the sun is reflected off it's surface. During an eclipse, the part of the moon facing the sun (and therefore reflecting it's light) is facing away from the Earth, so you won't see the moon except for when it covers the sun (and then you don't see the moon, you just see a bit of the sun missing). Basic physics really. [/QUOTE]
