New moon
The odd thing about this time of the lunar month is that where ever you look to see the sun, you are also looking at the moon. So for me now (just before sunset on Friday), the moon is there, just a little ahead of the sun on its way over the crest of the horizon – as it will be tomorrow morning at sunrise.
Tomorrow at sunset they will be nearly on top of each other, that is, they will fall over the horizon together. But by the next morning, the sun will have taken over, and the moon, although close still, will come up after the sun. And the moon will again, wax.
