The ‘Ghost’ of the Moon is like a shadow that appears when sunlight hits the Moon just right. Imagine you're in a dark room with a flashlight, when you move it, parts of the wall get bright and others stay dark. On the Moon, this happens because of craters and hills, which create shadows we can see from Earth.
