If the Moon is between Earth and the Sun, it is not a phase, at all . . . it is a solar eclipse.
A new moon phase is happening when the moon is aligned between the Earth and the Sun. During this phase, the side of the moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making the moon appear dark or invisible from our perspective.

In the context of the Moon phase transporter, the position of the Sun relative to the Moon determines the phase of the Moon we observe from Earth. During a New Moon, the Sun and Moon are aligned, with the Sun illuminating the far side of the Moon. In contrast, during a Full Moon, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the Sun to illuminate the side of the Moon facing us. The Moon phases progress as the Moon orbits Earth, with its position changing in relation to the Sun.
The correct order during a lunar eclipse is penumbral phase, partial phase, and then total phase. During a total lunar eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow on the Moon.

The phase that results when the Moon is on the same side of the Earth as the Sun is called the New Moon phase. During this phase, the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark in the sky.

The phase of the moon depends on its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, its position changes and different amounts of sunlight reflect off its surface, creating the different phases we see from Earth.
