So the night would be dark some of the time during other nights, not only the new-moon. So either you have partially dark nights and a new-moon or always bright nights and no phases (ie always a full moon, not sure how you would get that physics-wise though) | |

If the moon goes through phases it' because of its position in relation both to the sun and earth. And because it moves around the earth it raises and set being visible at night and even during the day, the only time it is not visible is during the new moon. | |

| Oct 3, 2017 at 8:04 | comment | added | user | How bright would this moon be? Are we assuming humans as we know them, or is e.g. making changes to the creatures' eyesight allowed? I'm putting this on hold for the moment, but with some more specifics, this should be answerable. (As shown by the two existing answers, as it stands this question can only be answered with what basically amounts to "it depends", which isn't all that useful.) | |
