A "new" moon occurs when the moon is between the sun and the earth. Sometimes it is so close to the moon that we can't see it. As the moon continues to orbit the earth, it's eastern limb begins to reflect the sun. The terminator continues to move west across the face of the moon until the earth comes between the sun and the moon. This phase is called a "full moon". Following a full moon, darkness begins at the eastern limb and the moon grows darker each day until a new moon occurs again.

A solar eclipse can only occur during a new moon, and a lunar eclipse occurs only during a full moon.
