new moon
Invisible lunar phase
A new moon is the lunar phase when the moon is positioned between Earth and the sun, making it invisible or nearly invisible in the night sky.
This marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, occurring roughly every 29.5 days.
The term also refers to the thin crescent visible shortly after this phase: We spotted the new moon just after sunset.
