    The New Moon

    The moon will officially reach its new moon phase on Monday, May 26 at 11:02 p.m. EDT or 8:02 p.m. PDT, which converts to Tuesday, May 27 at 03:02 UT.
    While new, our natural satellite will be located in Taurus, and 4 degrees
    north of the sun. While at its new phase, the moon is travelling between Earth and the sun. Since sunlight can only shine on the far side of the moon, and
    the moon is in the same region of the sky as the sun, it becomes completely hidden from view from anywhere on Earth for about a day. After the new moon phase, Earth's natural satellite will return to shine as a very thin crescent in the western evening sky.
