Answer:
Visually, that is correct, most of the time. The new moon happens when the moon is directly between the earth and the sun. So without very special equipment, it cannot be seen. However, this is the time when eclipses of the sun happen, and during eclipses we 'see' the moon eclipse the sun. We don't see very much detail; we see the moon in the sense that we don't see what the moon is blocking.
