What is a new moon?
A new moon is the opposite of what a full moon is.
During a full moon, we see the side of the moon that is being illuminated by the sun, giving the moon its bright, glowing appearance.
During a new moon, we see the side of the moon that is not being illuminated by the sun, which makes the moon blend in with the dark night sky.
When the moon is “new” it’s located between the earth and the sun, meaning the moon is in line with the sun, and the sun and earth are on opposite sides of the moon.
The new moon also marks the beginning of a lunar cycle.
Solar eclipses always arrive with a new moon, when both the sun and moon align at the same zodiac sign and degree.
