They lose radio contact with the Earth for a few minutes.
Lunar occultations of Venus - when Venus disappears behind the Moon - happen a couple of times each year.
No. We have been behind the moon and peeked. No aliens.
its happens when the sun is BEHIND the moon it starts to get all dark.(: for safety you might want to use sunglasses when it happens!:)
new moon
When the moon is full, the full of the face of the moon that is facing earth is lit by the sun. The only way this can happen is if the earth is between the sun and the moon. We need the sun "behind us" to allow the sun to light up all of the moon's face so it can appear full.
Moon. happened in 1997.
Because the moon gets between the sun and the Earth. You can't see a new moon because the sun is behind it and not shining on the face that we always see. A solar eclipse can only happen when the moon is between the sun and earth, perfectly aligned.
Some clouds may appear to be behind the moon due to the relative positions of the clouds, the moon, and the observer. When clouds are at different altitudes in the atmosphere, lower clouds can appear to be behind the moon, especially when the moon is low on the horizon. Additionally, atmospheric perspective and the moon's brightness can create the illusion of depth, making it seem as if clouds are positioned behind the moon when they are actually further away.
There are two types of eclipses, lunar and solar. Lunar eclipses happen when the Moon passes into the Earth's shadow. The Moon turns reddish-orangish, but does not block out all of the light, although the sky may get darker. With a Solar eclipse, the Earth passes into the Moon's shadow, but the Sun is aligned behind the Moon. This blocks out almost all of the light. You only see the silver outline of the Sun behind the moon, though. I hope this answers your question!
With the sun in front of the earth, the earth's shadow is out behind it.A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is behind the earth, and passes through earth's shadow.The moon is behind the earth ... in the neighborhood of the earth's shadow ... ONLY at the time of Full Moon.During the crescent and "half moon" phases, the moon is off to the side, far from the earth's shadow.
A lunar eclipse can only happen during a full moon when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, casting its shadow on the moon.
