>you'd think
If you didn't think, maybe. Distance is what you're not factoring in, partly because more of the Moon is illuminated than what you can see.
Part of the function of a sphere is that the further away from it you are the more area of it you can see. The Sun, being a fuckload further away from the Moon than us, can "see" a larger area of the Moon than we can, thus the outer "edges" are out of our line of sight.
