New Moon. At that time, the entire illuminated side of the moon faces away from earth. When we

The crescent Moon implies a gibbous Earth, as seen from the Moon.
As seen from the moon, the Earth is a brighter source of light than the moon is as seen from the Earth. This also depends upon the phase of the Earth, just as the brightness of the moon varies by phase. A full moon and a full Earth are in the brightest phase.

Not exactly. The lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth is that part that is not shadowed by the Earth.

The moon phase when none of the lighted side can be seen is called a new moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, so the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated.
the new moon cannot be seen from earth because there is no sunlight hitting the moon so there is no reflection to see in the sky
The phase of the moon that is entirely invisible from Earth is the New Moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, causing the side of the moon that is illuminated by the Sun to face away from Earth. As a result, the moon cannot be seen from our planet.
That's the 'Full Moon'.
