You didn't mention the Earth Shine- the best part of the New Moon!
Earth Shine is caused by the sunlight reflected back from Earth onto the Moon
and faintly illuminating the lunar surface while in the early New Phase.
This phenomena was one of the proofs by Galileo that the earth actually revolved around the sun on the same way that the moon revolved around the earth. From the lunar perspective the Earth would appear "full "from the perspective of someone on the moon in the way that the moon appears" full" to us here on earth. We can only see our own earth light during this lunar phase.
