Do I have to explain to you that sun does not rise behind the moon? Nor is it behind the moon at night.
Can you explain why every search engine returns composites for the terms "moon sunrise", while the moon is often visible during the day, making this a commonly photographed phenomenon?"
I'm not going to call myself a great artist or anything but here's a simplified diagram of how your perspective relative to the moon changes how much of the reflection you can see. https://imgur.com/a/hkWd2MG
Unfortunately I'm not able to draw in 3d. But you hopefully begin to see how the earth could find itself "behind" the moon at an angle like the photo of the ball.
Amazing. Now put the light source in front of the sphere, and not behind it. While accomplish the same effect.

And if we were 2 dimensional beings, I would have to relent.
So am I to assume, you did not render the earlier image?
Nope, took a photo in my garage of the ball.

That would explain how amazingly "high quality" the textures and lighting on this render were.
