A very nice shot of the earth's moon:

Can anyone tell me what exactly are the circumstances of these pictures ?

Maybe not exactly (since this isn't a Hertz moon), but it looks like you are watching the Moon go through its phases from the side of the Moon that we can't see.

If I'm right, send cookie!

No, it is new moon (far side lit, near side in dark)

You are close but this is not enough.

The illumination is fixed with respect to the surface features . . . You could produce this sequence of images by stopping time, moving in a circle around the moon, and taking a snapshot every 22.5 degrees.
