The "New Moon" is the moment when the moon is directly between us and the sun.

At that time, we can't see the moon at all, because we're looking at the "back side"

of it that's completely unlit by the sun.

That's where the moon has to be in order for its shadow to fall on the Earth, and

for people to be in it. "Being in the moon's shadow" is another way to describe a

solar eclipse.
