The great Solar Eclipse USA

April 8, 2024 USA time, millions of people watched a stellar event that the Moon came into the direct line between the Earth and the Sun. Perhaps we should call this event ‘when the Moon blocks out the Sun from a viewing zone on the Earth’. What did they really see? The dark side the Moon in the day time.

And when the Earth comes in a direct line between the Sun and the Moon. We call this Lunar Eclipse. And we marvel this event. What do we really see? A shadow of the Earth on the Moon. A shadow puppet show?

Questions: Can we see solar eclipses at night or lunar eclipses at day? Why?
