How is a new moon and a lunar eclipse similar?

A new moon occurs when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, so it is not visible from Earth. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, causing the Earth's shadow to be cast on the moon, making it appear dark. Both events involve the alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun in a specific way that affects the visibility of the moon from Earth.
