Phases, eclipses and tides, sentence 1

The phases are not the Earth's shadow; the Earth's shadow touches the Moon only in a lunar eclipse, which happens at full Moon and can turn it coppery red.

Who acts: phases, shadow, lunar eclipse, Earth · What happens: not be, touch, happen, turn, shadow · To what, where: shadow, Moon, lunar eclipse, full Moon

This is a sentence of the lesson «Phases, eclipses and tides» of the space course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (phases, shadow, lunar eclipse, Earth), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
