The lunar cycle commences with the enigmatic new moon phase , a time when the moon is shrouded in darkness, invisible to the naked eye as it disappears into the night sky. This phenomenon occurs as the moon's illuminated side is turned away from the Earth, positioned between our planet and the sun.
In this phase, the moon is not visible from Earth, and it is as if the moon has vanished, leaving only the memory of its presence behind. This cyclical occurrence happens every 29.5 days, a reminder of the celestial choreography between the moon, Earth, and sun.
