It isn't; it's a new (or dark) moon. You're standing on the Earth in the daytime on a sunny day. The sun goes dark for a few minutes because the moon is between you and the sun. Full moon is high in the sky at midnight.

No. To get a solar eclipse the moon has to be in a position between the sun and the earth, this happens only round the time of the new moon (when there is little or no moon visible). When the moon is full, the earth is between the sun and the moon (there could therefore be a "lunar" eclipse).
