Why do some clouds appear to be behind the moon?

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.


What happens when they go behind the moon in Apollo 13?

When the Apollo 13 spacecraft goes behind the Moon, it loses radio contact with mission control on Earth. This brief period of silence lasts for about 30 minutes while the spacecraft is in the Moon's shadow, making it impossible for the astronauts to communicate or receive instructions. During this time, the crew focuses on critical systems and preparations for their lunar flyby and return journey to Earth. The loss of communication heightens the tension and uncertainty surrounding the mission's success.
