What Is The Difference Between An Eclipse Of The Moon And A New Moon?
I don’t get it. . . I thought a new moon was black because the earth was blocking the sun’s light from reflecting off the moon. But a couple weeks ago we had an eclipse of the moon, and they said it was because the earth was getting between the moon and the sun. The moon wasn’t as black as a new moon. I’m not an astronomer. What’s the difference? Thanks!, Paul
