Is the moon trying to peep out from behind on this point of view?

@Chancerubbage @stux since the Sun is behind the Earth, and I can see Jupiter on the sky at night around 8 PM, I believe that bright spot is Venus

This is the night sky of earth as illuminated by the full moon.

Venus, in the zodiacal light, makes sense given the Suns position on the other side of earth.

Jupiter I believe is still prominent in our night skies and would be behind the moon.

I tried to eak out some brighter constellations behind Earth that would take some work from me.
