The new moon
The darkest part of the moon is called the Umbra. That is the darkest not the largest.
In the new Moon phase.
New Moon Phase
The moon will be in its first quarter phase a week from tonight after the new moon phase.
The waxing crescent is the first phase after the new moon.
The new moon phase appears darkest to us because it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with its illuminated side facing away from Earth. This means the side of the moon we see is not illuminated by the Sun, making it appear completely dark from Earth.
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 darkest part of the moon's shadow is called the umbra
If you can think metaphorically.............the new moon phase is the darkest in the moon phase cycle because you don't see the moon giving off any light. "New Moon" was the darkest period of Bella's life, thanks to Edward. She was so depressed, she let it ruin her whole life. Thank god for Jacob or she really would've been dead. That would've caused Edward to kill himself, too...and that would suck!
New moon is the darkest period of moon cycle, so the meaning/symbol is that it's the darkest, worst time.
The first moon, where the sky is darkest.

New Moon.
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
The darkest part of the night is exactly mid way between sunset and sunrise. This, of course, does not include the moons influence or other phenomenon which may make this time brighter in many instances. So you need to know the phases of the moon, its' Moonrise time and local influences such as Borealis effects to get a more scientifically correct answer for each night of the year.
