  New moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Moon is often considered to occur at the time of the appearance of the first visible crescent of the Moon, after conjunction with the Sun.
The astronomical New Moon, sometimes known as the dark moon to avoid confusion, occurs by definition at the moment of conjunction in ecliptic longitude with the Sun, when the Moon is invisible from the Earth.
The New Moon is the beginning of the month in lunar calendars such as the Muslim calendar, and in lunisolar calendars such as the Hebrew calendar, Buddhist calendar, and Chinese calendar.

New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter phases are considered to be primary phases and their dates and times are published in almanacs and on calendars.
The phases of the Moon are related to (actually, caused by) the relative positions of the Moon and Sun in the sky.
Considering the Moon as a circular disk, the ratio of the area illuminated by direct sunlight to its total area is the fraction of the Moon's surface illuminated; multiplied by 100, it is the percent illuminated.

 ORRERY: Moon - Earth's Only Natural Satellite
The Moon is the Earth's sole companion, orbiting at an average distance of 384,400km.
As the orbital plane of the Moon lies within 5° of the apparent orbit of the Sun as seen from Earth, occasionally their positions in the sky coincide, giving rise to a solar eclipse.
At New Moon, all three bodies are aligned, with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun.

 Cassini-Huygens: News-Press Releases-2005
The moon, provisionally named S/2005 S1, was first seen in a time-lapse sequence of images taken on May 1, 2005, as Cassini began its climb to higher inclinations in orbit around Saturn.
The new object is about 7 kilometers (4 miles) across and reflects about half the light falling on it -- a brightness that is typical of the particles in the nearby rings.
Imaging scientists had predicted the new moon's presence and its orbital distance from Saturn after last July's sighting of a set of peculiar spiky and wispy features in the Keeler gap's outer edge.

 Phases of the Moon: Zoom Astronomy
The shape varies from a full moon (when the Earth is between the sun and the moon) to a new moon (when the moon is between the sun and the Earth).
For example, the "Harvest moon" is the full moon that appears nearest to the Autumnal Equinox, occurring in late September or early October.
The new moon is the phase of the moon when the moon is not visible from Earth, because the side of the moon that is facing us is not being lit by the sun.

 Lunar Perigee and Apogee Calculator
Perigee and apogee distances are usually accurate to within a few kilometres compared to values calculated with the definitive ELP 2000-82 theory of the lunar orbit; the maximum error over the years 1977 through 2022 is 12 km in perigee distance and 6 km at apogee.
Following the flags is the interval between the moment of perigee or apogee and the closest new or full phase; extrema cluster on the shorter intervals, with a smaller bias toward months surrounding the Earth's perihelion in early January.
This table gives the time of all new and full Moons in the indicated year, as well as the last phase of the preceding year and the first phase of the next year.

While the Calendar of the "Religious Council" does not follow the Abib, it does use a sound method of determining the dates of the New Moons.
New Moon Day always begins on the "Date of Visibility" at sunset and continues to the next day at sunset.
For example, the New Moon will be visible on September 11, 1999 at sunset making New Moon Day the evening of September 11th and the day of September 12th (until sunset).
