Starship Asterisk*

Actually, I'm thinking more of when the new moon coincides with the inclination of the lunar orbit reaching its maximum deviation from the ecliptic.....I understand that it's about 5 degrees....~10 apparent solar diameters....so the moon itself would be either above or below the Sun while lying on t...

Has anyone ever taken photos of the New Moon from orbit at a time when there is sufficient angular separation from the Sun....or with the Sun occulted?....a sufficient time exposure would show the "black hole" of the moon against the background star field..... might make a good APOD...
