I saw it a few minutes ago, the moon is very dim, if you observe carefully or use binoculars/telescopes, you can see a dark circle around most of the moon, with a tiny end bit slightly brighter than the rest, thus forming the circumference of the circle, but still quite dim. I'm not sure if the moon is supposed to be completely engulfed in darkness, subsequently disappearing from vision altogether.
You're supposed to be seeing a faint red-ish glow around the moon. Seeing that the sky is really dark, tou should be able to see it.
The last time that happened that was a MAJOR solar eclipse which occurs once every few hundred years apparently, with news and live documentaries recording it, that was somewhere around the year 2000.

its the solar eclipse that youre not supposed yo look at.
and the moon doesnt desappear because the earths atmosphere bends the light waves hence the reddish colour.
"Were they created by nothing, or were they themselves the creators?
Or did they create the heavens and the earth?
Nay, they have no firm belief.”
