The phase of the moon when it is in conjunction with the sun and is therefore obscured.
A simulated image of the traditionally defined new Moon: the earliest visible waxing crescent (lower right), which signals the start of a new month in many lunar and lunisolar calendars. At new moon, mostly earthlight illuminates the near side of the Moon.
The phase of the moon when it is in conjunction with the sun and is therefore obscured.
As the Earth revolves around the Sun, approximate axial parallelism of the Moon's orbital plane (tilted five degrees to the Earth's orbital plane) results in the revolution of the lunar nodes relative to the Earth. This causes an eclipse season approximately every six months, in which a solar eclipse can occur at the new moon phase.
