Thanks for your question about the moon. As far as we know, from the moon missions and from very special meteorites that are actually pieces of the moon that have fallen to Earth, the moon is made up mostly of four minerals: plagioclase, pyroxene, olivine and ilmenite.
Answer: Many people grow up with the idea that the phases of the moon are caused by the shadow of the earth. The earth does cast a shadow (as does any object in sunlight), but the moon usually passes above or below it. When the moon does pass through the earth's shadow, it is called a lunar eclipse (see illustration at right). When the moon passes into the shadow of the earth, it can at first glance mimic some of the phases, but the effect is in fact very different.
