Discounting mountains, valleys, and other gross surface features, is there any place on Earth from which the Moon is not visible at all?
Asked by:
Frank X. Guthrie
Answer
Just as the Sun is visible for 6 months out of every 12 at any point on the surface of the
Earth, the moon can be seen from any point on Earth's surface at some time. The Moon is
only 'invisible' to Earth in its 'New' phase when its lighted side faces away from
us.

'I beseech you to take interest in these sacred domains so expressively called laboratories. Ask that there be more and that they be adorned for these are the temples of the future, wealth and well-being. It is here that humanity will grow, strengthen and improve. Here, humanity will learn to read progress and individual harmony in the works of nature, while humanity's own works are all too often those of barbarism, fanaticism and destruction.'
