This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

a new moon only blocks the sun periodically because the moon's orbit has a 5 degree inclination:

What would be a solar eclipse though

When the moon is directly between the earth and the sun, during the day.

Solar eclipse is when the moon is between the sun and the earth. Lunar eclipse is when the earth is between the moon and the sun. A "new moon" is just when the side of the moon that we can see isn't facing the sun.
