The phenomenon owes its variations and appellations to the phase of the lunar cycle which occurs when the earth’s satellite is placed between our planet and the sun.
During this phase, which involves the Sun-Earth-Moon system, the visible side of the Moon is completely in shadowsince it is the opposite, hidden side that receives the light, which we can never see from the earth’s surface.
The reason lies in the fact that the Moon is in synchronous rotation with the Earth, therefore it always shows us the same side apart when due to the oscillations we can also observe some details of the other side.
