A new moon occurs when the moon is directly between Earth and the sun, with its shadowed side pointing towards us. You can see a new moon when it crosses the face of the sun during a solar eclipse.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth is positioned directly between the moon and sun, blocking the sun's rays from the moon.

A 'Blood Moon' will bathe a large swathe of the world in red light overnight Thursday during a rare total lunar eclipse.
