It is only possible during the new moon phase, when the dark side of the moon faces the Earth.
A solar eclipse, which occurs when the moon passes directly between the Earth and the sun during its new moon phase, can occur somewhere in the world up to about five times a year.
The far side is often inaccurately called the "dark side", but in fact, it is illuminated as often as the near side: once per lunar day, during the new moon phase we observe on Earth when the near side is dark.

Nearby resorts that feature stargazing include Tierra Atacama, a stone's throw from Hotel de Larache, and Alto Atacama lodge, which offers guided stargazing nightly, except during full moon phases that wash out the viewing.
The majority of worms spawned during new moon phases, in line with normal spawning rhythms observed under our laboratory conditions (Zantke et al. 2013).
The male walked less than expected between 23:00–06:00 during all four moon phases, and more than expected between 21 00 04:00 during both full moon and the first quarter.
In order to examine this, we calculate the moon phase (0 for the previous new moon and 1 for the next new moon) and make a histogram of historical records of vapors from Sòngshǐ. Figure 4 shows a histogram of the vapor records of Sòngshǐ where no significant tendency is found.
Coincidentally, the observations were made during moon phases that are adequate for nighttime airglow measurements.

These times are halved during the previous and following days around the full moon phase, thus avoiding the saturation of the images to a great extent.
