So when light scatters off a surface, we don't see a reflection and instead we just see whatever the surface is. But the conditions for why we see things still stand true. In order to see an object (whether that's a reflection or not), light still needs to reflect off a surface and back into our eyes.
We're taking this idea to venture into outer space. Why do we see the moon sometimes, and not others? How can we use this idea behind the conditions for why we see things to explain the changing appearance of the moon? This phenomena is quite easy to explain once you understand why we see things (and why we don't!) Check out the physical models we used to help explain the moon phases (and more specifically, why we see part of the moon when light from the sun scatters off its surface!)!!!
