This is not correct. Most of the moon is dark except for a small sliver... but even then you don't see the moon often at all during the day when it is just in the general vicinity of the sun... because the sky itself is too light to see any other light outside getting in... same reason you don't see stars during the day but they're there just the same.
To add to this... it was pretty cool seeing a few stars during the eclipse.
not stars, planets. Both Venus and Jupiter were visible during the event. Didn't notice any stars, and really was hoping to see a glimpse of the comet.
I had wondered but then got busy and didn't look that up... very cool, thanks!
