It seemed logical that i could see it on a dark night if it was reflecting starlight. But why when the sky is blue at sunset do i see the dark side?If you could see the dark side of them moon, you wouldn't even be on Earth. With the Moon's orbit, the dark side is always facing away from Earth during the time we can see the moon in the sky.Ok.. What about when it's a crescent and the part that is not illuminated by the sun is visible? Why is that? Because i'm finding it difficult to believe that the light scattered from the lit side is exciting the atmosphere everywhere but the darkened area in the exact spot i was standing.
