The new moon is invisible because the moon is a sphere. When it is new, it must be between earth and the sun, so the illuminated hemisphere must be on the far side of the moon. Because the new moon is near the sun in the sky, it is lost in the sun's glare during the day, and because of earth's rotation, is below the horizon at night.
