It is a new Moon.
For a solar eclipse, the moon has to be between Earth and the Sun.
We get a total lunar eclipse when Earth is between the Sun and the Moon.
The Moon would have to be full for it to be eclipsed.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon ... if it occurs at all.
A solar eclipse only can occur at the time of the New Moon,but doesn't occur at the large majority of them.
During a solar eclipse, the moon is in the "new moon" phase where it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight from reaching the Earth fully or partially.
Solar eclipses happen during NEW moons, when the Moon blocks the light of the Sun. Lunar eclipses happen during FULL moons, when the Earth blocks the light of the Sun.
A solar eclipse can be viewed during the new moon phase. During this phase, the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, allowing the Moon to block the Sun's light partially or completely, depending on the alignment. This alignment is necessary for a solar eclipse to occur, making the new moon phase the only time such an event can take place.

In a new moon
An eclipse of the sun can only occur during a new moon phase when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. This alignment allows the moon to partially or fully block the sun's light, creating a solar eclipse.
