Answer: New Moon

Explanation: During the new moon phase, the moon is not visible. Sometimes it can be detected by noting the visible absence of the stars that it blocks. Additionally, during new moon, sometimes enough light is reflected off the surface of the Earth that the disk of the moon is faintly visible.

During the waxing phase, the moon is visible in the sky after sunrise and before sunset. Waxing Crescent -- The moon travels eastward in the sky, and a few days after the new moon we can see a slight edge, or crescent, lit by the sun
