For this trick, it's best to catch the quarter moon. Next one will be April 23rd 8am. Try to catch the quarter moon (picrel) when it's maybe an hour before dusk. Now, the light hemisphere of the moon should be facing directly toward the sun. But you'll notice, it doesn't. You can't make them line up. You'll start to notice that no matter when, the light side almost never lines up with the sun.

I am not a schitzo or a flat earther. Yes I have searched for an explanation, but like with most odd questions, you get a bunch of amateur astronomers all with slightly different answers. I'm just stuck with the intuition that the light half should line up with the sun.

In before "The light you see on the moon only reflects where the sun 'was' 8 minutes ago"
