Drac: In the real world: I believe there are times when the moon is near the sun in the sky without actually blocking the light from it (which would be a solar eclipse). If it's all that close, though, you would normally not be able to discern the moon's presence with the naked eye because the relative brightness of the sun would overpower the reflected light from the moon. Let them get farther apart in the sky, though, and you can see the moon during the day. I think this is what you mean, right? But I don't think it's nice of you to stereotype those of us with eyes in the backs of our heads like that. :^)
