New moon is May 20, 2012 according to U.S. clocks - and there will be an eclipse that day. Afterwards, around May 21 or 22, you'll begin to see the moon in the west after sunset again. Best, Deborah Hi awoods2010,

The moon is in the morning sky now – visible before dawn. New moon is May 20, 2012 according to U.S. clocks – and there will be an eclipse that day.

Afterwards, around May 21 or 22, you’ll begin to see the moon in the west after sunset again.

Best,

Deborah
