First, you need to look up the moon's declination on whatever day you wish to observe it directly overhead, and then you need to be at that latitude. This website says the moon's current declination is +8 degrees, so you can't observe this full moon in the US or Europe. I don't think its declination ever exceeds about 30 degrees, so you'll need to be in Florida or similar.

Derp, my bad, you're asking how it's even possible. It's because the Sun isn't perfectly in line with the Earth and Moon, and the Earth's shadow is not *that* big in the sky at the distance of the moon.

Literally play with 2 spheres and a flashlight.

What you're asking is basically "how can a bullet ricochet off a piece of metal, come back and strike me in the face when the shooter was behind me?" and it's because he was a lil off to the side and the angles work out.

You should say "the Moon isn't on the ecliptic plane".

the only time the moon isnt in full beam of the sun is during a lunar eclipse which doesnt last that long

Despite the obesity crisis, the Earth just isn't that fat.

That's closer than I had envisioned all my life. Guess it's true that most of the time all of the other planets could fit in that gap.

Sometimes they line up perfectly but not most of the time. I'm trying to figure out if you think it works like in Minecraft
