Dogplatter. take a flashlight (Sun), and a basketball (Earth), and a baseball (moon). Now hold the flashlight so its opposite the baseball and the basketball. Now slowly raise the flashlight and baseball. low and behold! part of the baseball is lit up AND covered by the basketball. Note that people in the "top" part of the basketball could see both items! I know a normal aviator like yourself could never have figured this out on your own, so I hope this helped. oh, and I'm not proving an eclipse during daylight, I'm showing you how the sun and moon can be seen in the sky at the same time (like in all those pictures).
