yes
blocking the moon from the light of the sun

this making it dark, and not possible to see the earth from the moon

I'm not 100% sure on this, hence the question mark in my original post

I waded in on a subject about which I know nothing.
However, as this is taking place online I feel I should defend my point TO THE DEATH
