The moon is never "blocked out". It's not even clear what that might look like,
or what it means.
-- During a solar eclipse, the moon gets in the way, so that you can't see the sun
for a few minutes.
-- During a lunar eclipse, the Earth gets in the way, so that the sun can't shine
on the moon and light it up for a few hours.
