S-E-M in this case stands for "Sun - Earth - Moon", and the relationship between the Moon circling the Earth and both of them being illuminated by the Sun explains the phases of the Moon; we're looking at the Moon from HERE, but the sunlight illuminating the Moon is coming from over THERE.
Eclipses can only happen when the Earth and Moon are lined up so precisely that the shadow of one falls on the other. A solar eclipse is where the Moon's shadow touches the Earth; a lunar eclipse is when the Earth's shadow darkens the Moon.
