Do you know how when it's a New Moon in real life the sun doesn't reflect on the moon so you can't see the moon and it's really dark at night? Well that's what they mean as New Moon as the title.

When the sky is totally dark an you cannot see the moon?

Technically speaking, when you cannot see the moon, it is a new moon. But my thinking is that if you can't see the moon, how can it be new? So my definition of a new moon is when you can see a smile in the sky because the moon is happy that it has just been born, but when you see a frown in the sky, the moon is sad because it is dying. Then you get the scientific "new moon."


Why is it impossible to see a new moon?

When the Moon is "new", it is very near to the Sun in the sky, and the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing AWAY from the Earth. So between the darkness of the "dark side of the Moon" and the brilliance of the Sun in the sky, it is nearly (but not totally!) impossible to see the "new" Moon.
