Just like we start the calendar over every year, the Moon starts a new orbit every month.  Today the Moon will start its new moon phase.

The new moon phase happens when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun. Because the sun is not lighting our side of the Moon, we can barely see the Moon.  But don’t worry, in only two weeks you will be able to see the entire Moon!

I think the Moon is great, but there are lots of cool things in space.  Tell us what your favorite part of the universe is.
