Original Note:
The reason the moon is very difficult to see is because the moon does not emit light, but reflects it from the sun. Since the moon is directly between the two no light reaches the surface of earth from the side facing us. This is a new moon, not visible in the day. https://science.nasa.gov/moon/moon-phases/
