Rosh Hashanah is the Rosh Chodesh ("new moon" or "month") of Tishrei. [View all]
The Mishnah (Rosh Hashanah, Ch. 2) describes how Jews once communicated the arrival of the new moon from Jerusalem to the Diaspora by lighting beacons on mountaintops. This method served as a way of both communicating and acknowledging a new month.
Tomorrow IS the New Moon, so no moon will be visible.
