How does the moon get different shapes?
the sun rays always reaching to the moon. when the earth block the sun rays from reaching the moon, the lunar eclipse can be formed. But the moon revolves round the earth, the blocks are removing from the moon. so the moon got different shapes.
Are human on the moon now?
of course there always have and always will be humans on the moon some people even believe that we will have to leave this planet to go to the moon for safety because the earth can block a meteor from hitting the moon ==================================== As far as is known to the public, there have been no humans on the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in December, 1972.

Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?
The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.

But if you take the block to the moon's surface, for example, then the forces of gravity in both directions between the block and the Moon are about 1.62 newtons (5.84 ounces).
