A NEW MOON.
However, the planer of the Moon's orbit about the Earth is about 5 degrees different from the plane of the Earth's orbit about the Sun.
Consequently, at every New Moon there is NOT a Solar Eclipse. A Solar Eclipse only occurs when the two planes cross directly at a New Moon, then you have a Solar Eclipse.
You do not see other New Moon's because the Sun's light is so bright, that it overtakes the dark patch of the Moon.
