No, a lunar eclipse is not the same as a new moon. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow on the moon. A new moon is when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the sun, so it is not visible from Earth.
A lunar eclipse is possible only at the time of Full Moon. A solar eclipse is possible only at the time of New Moon.
