New Phase - The phase of the moon in which none or almost none of the near side of the Moon is illuminated by sunlight, so the near side appears dark
Nodes - The points in the orbit of the Moon where the Moon crosses the ecliptic plane ...
10. The new phase of the Moon cannot be seen because it always occurs during the daytime. HINT
11. A lunar eclipse can occur only during the full phase.
12. Solar eclipses are possible during any phase of the Moon. HINT ...
A sequence of actions taken to test or examine a thing as to its readiness for incorporation into a new phase of use, or for the performance of its intended function. 2.
precipitation (chemistry) (NASA Thesaurus) The separation of a new phase from solid or liquid solution, usually with changing conditions of temperature or pressure or both.
solar eclipse when the shadow of the Moon hits the Earth at exactly new phase. The Moon covers up part or all of the Sun. solar luminosity unit of power relative to the Sun. One solar luminosity is about 4 x 1026 watts.
(In fact, the Moon in its new phase will sometimes block all or part of out view of the Sun. This event is called a solar eclipse. The side toward us is in shadow and is dark.
April 1, 2004: Spirit and its rover twin, Opportunity, ended the month of March 2004 by preparing to enter a new phase of martian exploration.
A total solar eclipse can occur only when the moon is in its new phase. At this time the moon is between the sun and the earth and cannot be seen until it moves across the sun's disk.
If the phase transition is second order it moves rather smoothly, and fairly large `domains' of the new phase are generated (much like the Weiss domains in a ferromagnet).
In yet another exciting announcement, Herschel has also detected a new phase of electrically charged water molecule in the birth clouds surrounding young stars.
On the other side of the planet, Opportunity's twin rover, Spirit, is beginning a new phase of its mission which will last into its extended mission program.
In the year 2006 the survey entered a new phase, the SDSS-II, by extending the observations to explore the structure and stellar makeup of the Milky Way, the SEGUE and the Sloan Supernova Survey, ...
A new phase in Eastern Amman, the oldest part of the city, will repaint and renovate broken down building and build kiosks and street maps all over to the city to make touring Amman much easier for tourists.
Bubbles of the new phase (steam) form in the midst of the old phase (water), so that temporarily the two distinct phases (steam and water) coexist.
A waning moon refers to the time between the full and new phases; a waxing moon refers to an increase in the illuminated lunar surface area.

The fiery birth of a new star can be quite dramatic as in the example of XZ Tauri shown above and HH 30's Jet to the right. Following its birth, the star enters a new phase of existance in which it leads a rather tranquil life as an inhabitant of the ...
When at its new phase the Moon passes in front of, or occults, the Sun, as seen from Earth, the Moon also casts a small shadow on Earth. An "occultation" of the Sun is therefore also a partial "eclipse" of Earth.
A phenomenon in which the Moon's disk passes in front of the Sun, blocking sunlight. A total eclipse occurs when the Moon completely obscures the Sun's disk, leaving only the solar corona visible. A solar eclipse can only occur during a new phase of ...
In contrast, the geocentric model of Ptolemy predicted that only crescent and new phases would be seen, since Venus was thought to remain between the Sun and Earth during its orbit around the Earth.
