New Moon: The Beginning of the Lunar Cycle

The new moon phase marks the start of the lunar cycle. During this phase, the moon is hidden from view as it aligns between the Earth and the Sun, with its illuminated side facing away from us. It is a time of darkness in the night sky, and the moon appears absent, signaling the fresh beginning of the lunar journey.
This phase occurs every 29.5 days, and its brief darkness gives way to the gradual illumination that follows.
