The shadowed portion is entirely hidden from view. The first quarter and third quarter moons (both often called a half moon), happen when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the earth and sun. So we are seeing exactly half of the moon illuminated and half in shadow.
Because, when the moon is new, its night face is facing us on Earth â¦ and we canât see the moon at this time. During a total solar eclipse, the night side of the moon can be seen in silhouette against the disk of the sun. If you could travel in a spaceship to the opposite side of the moon, you'd see it shining brightly. We canât see the new moon from Earth, except during the stirring moments of a solar eclipse. Then the moon passes in front of the sun, and the night portion of the moon becomes visible to us, surrounded by the sunâs fiery corona.
