Fases de la Luna. En razón de su rotación en torno de la Tierra, el globo lunar se halla sucesivamente iluminado por el Sol, desde todos los ángulos. Así, en el novilunio o luna nueva, por hallarse en conjunción entre el Sol y la Tierra, la Luna es invisible desde nuestro planeta porque el hemisferio del satélite orientado hacia nosotros se halla sumido en la sombra. 4, record 2, Spanish, - luna%20nueva

luna nueva: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que las voces "sol", "tierra" y "luna" se escriben con mayúscula inicial en contextos astronómicos, en los que estos términos funcionan como nombres designativos de los respectivos objetos, pero en minúscula fuera de contextos estrictamente astronómicos, tanto si se refieren a los astros en sí como en los usos derivados o metafóricos. [...] Fuera de estos contextos, continúa la obra académica, «tanto en su uso recto como en los derivados o metafóricos, se escriben con minúscula inicial con toda normalidad»; esta recomendación se aplica en especial a expresiones como [...] luna llena, luna nueva [...] 5, record 2, Spanish, - luna%20nueva
