a full moon.
The moon phase that follows the new moon is the waxing crescent phase. During this phase, a small sliver of the moon is illuminated on the right side, signaling the beginning of the moon's waxing or growing phase as it moves towards a full moon.
The "new moon" by definition is the moon phase where it is completely in the earth's shadow, and we cannot see it at all. New moon is the exact opposite of "full moon".
The answer is syzygy.
The phase of the moon depends on its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, its position changes and different amounts of sunlight reflect off its surface, creating the different phases we see from Earth.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is interposed between the Earth and the sun. This means that the dark side of the moom is facing Earth. The phase of the moon where the dark side faces Earth is called the New Moon.
The term "new moon" refers to the phase of the moon opposite a full moon. It is when the sun is on the opposite side of the moon from us and thus the bright side of the moon is not visible from earth. This is the darkest kind of night. New Moon is the darkest period of Bella's life.
The phase of the Earth's satellite, the Moon, changes as it orbits the Earth. The primary phases are new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter. These phases are determined by the position of the Moon relative to the Earth and the Sun.
The Moon's phase when it's between the Earth and the sun is called a New Moon. It's in this position where at times there is a Solar Eclipse of the Sun. Please refer to the link I have attached.
A waxing crescent is the Moon phase where less than half of the Moon is visible and the illuminated part is growing. It occurs right after the new Moon phase.
New Moon.
The New Moon always occurs very close to the moon's "new moon" phase.
