So this is page 6 and the flat-earthers still have no explanation for the eclipse.
.
The moon enters its first quarter in 3 hours 15 minutes.
.
Maybe the flat-earthers can explain the quarter moon, if they can't explain the eclipse.
.
But I doubt it.
.
I didn't want to write this because the time spent on an explanation for you is a waste of time.  But, since you insist...The eclipse was caused by the moon passing in front of the sun. It is a relatively common phenomena in partial eclipses, and bit rarer when full eclipse is accomplished.  Sun and moon being similar in size, when the moon passes in front of the sun, an eclipse occurs.  As for the quarter moon, during its cycle of phases, the moon's energy replenishes, as being fed in part by the sun.  Some Church Fathers say the moon receives 1/7 of its light energy from the sun. Enoch suggests the same and explains some of it (see Enoch part below).  Beyond this, there are different theories about moon phases.  Some think there is a shadow cast over the moon by a celestial body: earth, dark moon, etc.  There is another possibility to consider:  Phases occur when a portion of the moon is lit and the other part is not.  
There...flat earth eclipses and moon phases, all in one paragraph.

Uriel? Is that the name of a demon from hell? How do you know who Uriel is? What do you believe, the Church or the Book of Enoch?
.
What Church Fathers say the moon receives 1/7 of its light energy from the sun? What units of energy did they use? Prove that Church Fathers ever mentioned any kind of units for light energy. 
.
Or, which is more likely, they never used the phrase, "light energy." So you're just making this up for your continued deception and false history.
.
You of course realize your quote from "Enoch" is all fake. Enoch lived at a time long before the Gregorian Calendar which had the innovation of 28 days in February and 29 during Leap year. Besides, for someone who's all absorbed with Scripture here you are quoting from an apocryphal book.
.
But your hypocrisy doesn't end there. You have said that the sun and moon are about the same distance from the earth, with nothing to back it up.
So if the moon can be further away from the earth than the sun is, how does that make an eclipse possible?
.
Or if the sun and moon are the same distance from the earth, why don't they smash into each other instead of us seeing an eclipse?
.
Or is the eclipse what we see when the sun crashes into the moon?

At the risk of repeating myself, I'm going to repeat myself.
.
Flat-earthers cannot explain the solar eclipse. 
.
They get all confused, and contradict themselves when they try.
.
Like "Perhaps something other than the moon blocks the sun's light." 
.
Yeah, right. Something other than the moon, something that just happens to be in exactly the same place as the moon but we can't see it?

The whole argument that the earth is round is based on the idea of a fixed rate of curvature.

We can see through these proofs http://flatearthtrads.forumga.net/f9-flat-earth-proofs

that it does not exist. Therefore we must re-evaluate our modern science in light of this, because the lack of curvature undermines a lot.

Working for NASA, you are predisposed, even prejudiced to believe what they say. Some discoveries have come out of it, and there is a lot of good in observing the stars and so forth, but most of what they do invovles perpetuating the globe earth lie.

You should seek another employment, because working for them explains why you are so fanatical in your promotion of the globe earth.

You again show your ignorance.  All you had to do is type in 'Uriel' to Google.  Uriel is often identified as a cherub and angel of repentance.[5] He "stands at the Gate of Eden with a fiery sword",[6] or as the angel who "watches over thunder and terror".[7] In the Apocalypse of Peter he appears as the Angel of Repentance, who is graphically represented as being as pitiless as any demon. In the Life of Adam and Eve, Uriel is regarded as the spirit (i.e., one of the cherubs) of the third chapter of Genesis. He is also identified as one of the angels who helped bury Adam and Abel in Paradise.

Again, you refuse to check before you retort. 
Also, I'd recommend looking up Enoch for yourself.  He was a flat earther.  
As was Moses.
You insist the sun is 93,000,000 miles away and have not backed that up, so I'll continue to use empirical proof that sun and moon are close.  One obvious reason the sun and moon don't smash into each other is because they are on different tracks, relatively close and not hundreds of thousands or millions of miles away.  In fact, they only need to be a mile away in order to pass each other.
