New Moon ; only seen when there is a Solar Eclipse.
The Moon isn't always dark. It reflects the Sun's light, but its appearance changes based on its position relative to the Earth and Sun. During a "new moon," the side facing us is not illuminated, so it appears dark.
All phases of the moon can be viewed from the earth. The moon is easier to see on a clear night, though the moon can also be seen during the day, depending on its orbit, and how bright the sunlight is.
Well, after a full moon phase comes the waning gibbous phase, where it appears that the moon is getting smaller each night. It's a beautiful part of the lunar cycle where we can observe the gentle transition from full to new moon, each phase bringing its own sense of tranquility and reflection.
