Antumbra on a new moon

Post by deleted-367598 »

I was wondering about the concept of light bending over gravitational wells.
Does antumbra affects the moon or is the distance between the sun too far and earth being too big for that?
Is the new moon completely covered in the umbra zone?
If there is, are there any pictures of this phenomena?

Hi,

This forum is intended for students, parents, and teachers working on K-12 science projects. If your question is related to a science project, please post some details such as your hypothesis, research question or experimental plan. If you are looking for help with homework or general science discussions there are other sites that should be able to answer your question.
