The new moon is not generally visible at all. The Moon is "new" when it is quite close to the Sun in the sky, and the entire lighted half of the Moon is facing away from the Earth, toward the Sun.
A day before the new moon, the waning crescent is generally visible low in the eastern sky at dawn, while the day after the new, the waxing crescent is seen low in the western sky at sunset.

∙ 14y agoI would not recommend the attempt. The new Moon is very close to the Sun in the sky; you could easily blind yourself by inadvertently pointing the telescope at the Sun instead of at the Moon.
However, precise use of a solar coronagraph CAN display the "new" moon against the background glare of the Sun.

∙ 10y ago-- From where we sit, the moon appears to revolve around us every 27.3 days.
-- One result is that in that space of time, looking toward the moon means
looking toward all of the stars and other things that are anywhere near its
path.
-- The sun, the moon, and the planets all happen to stay on or close to the
same path through the stars.
-- So no blanket answer to this question is possible, because the situation
changes so fast. Sooner or later, every planet in our solar system will appear
near the moon.

∙ 13y agoGenerally, no. The new moon happens when the Moon is almost between the Sun and the Earth; there is no sunlight striking the visible side of the Moon, and between that and the Sun's glare, it's nearly impossible to see.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThrough a sufficiently powerful telescope, nearly all moons can be seen through a telescope.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoA new moon is when we see only the side of the moon that has a shadow. This does not affect the stars.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThe New Moon occurs once every 29.53 days. It rises at roughly the same time as the sunrise.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoOnly at night. Or in a deep cave or well, where you can look straight up into the sky.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoWhen the Moon is New, the Moon is hiding very close to the Sun in the sky. You might be able to see it, if you blocked the Sun and knew just where to look, but you have to be careful.

When was As Seen Through a Telescope created?
As Seen Through a Telescope was created in 1900.
Can earth been seen at night without a telescope?
yes
How did Galileo use the four moons of Jupiter?
The four moons were discovered sometime between 1609 and 1610 when Galileo made improvements to his telescope, which enabled him to observe celestial bodies more distinctly than had ever been possible before. As a result of improvements Galileo Galilei made to the telescope, with a magnifying capability of 20×, he was able to see celestial bodies more distinctly than was ever possible before. This allowed Galilei to discover sometime between December 1609 and January 1610 what came to be known as the Galilean moons. :)
Which ancient astronomer was the first to use a telescope?
Galileo Gailei is the first person credited with using the telescope for astronomical observations. He did not invent the telescope. He is the first to have seen moons going around Jupiter, the rings of Saturn (though he incorrectly identified them), and that the Moon had cliffs and craters.
Can earth be seen at night with a telescope?
If your were on another planet or the moon yes. If you are on earth you cannot observe it (in its entirity) through a telescope unless you are placed off of the planet.
When was As Seen Through a Telescope created?
As Seen Through a Telescope was created in 1900.
Why were galilean moons the first objects to be seen with a telescope?
It was the first thing to be seen because that's how it was.
Why can't you see all Jupiter's moons through a telescope?
because there are a lot of moons that surround Jupiter and they rotate around Jupiter at different paces not all can be seen at the same time
Can callisto be seen from earth with a telescope?
Yes, all four of Jupiter's large moons can be seen with binoculars.
How close have you seen Pluto?
Pluto has only been seen from Earth of the Hubble telescope. The best image conjured is a blurred image of Pluto and its three moons. But as of right now, New Horizons has an unmanned space probe on route to Pluto. They say that they will get detailed pictures and maps of all of Pluto and its moons.

How The chart shows the placement of Jupiter's moons for the first nine days of February 1996. How would Jupiter and its moons appear on February 7 as seen through a telescope?
You have to do this. You have the chart and you need to answer the prompt concerning the chart. We don't do homework for students.
Can Venus be seen through a telescope?
Yes.
Which planet was seen by Galileo through a telescope?
Jupiter.
How often can you see the moons of Pluto?
Pluto can be seen with an amateur telescope but it is not easy and you will require a great deal of supporting information on how to locate it. Something like the Hubble Space Telescope would be required to see Pluto's moons, and then, not in any great detail.
What is so significant about the galilean moons?
They're fairly big for moons, although Jupiter itself is big. The four "Galilean" moons of Jupiter were the first "moons" other than our own Moon to be seen, by Galileo using his new telescope.
What is the color of Uranus through a telescope?
it appears to be teal and blue green.I have seen it in a telescope myself
Can mars seen from earth?
Yes it can I believe it can be seen with your eyes. It can be seen in colour through a telescope.
