THE BLACK MOON (occurs on December 30, 2024. The event promises a darker night sky, perfect for observing stars and planets)

BLACK MOON:

      "black moon," a term for the second new moon in a calendar month.

A second new moon is sometimes called a "black moon," just as two full moons in a month is sometimes called a "blue moon"  — though neither is a true astronomical term.

WHAT IS BLACK MOON:

          The term "black moon" is not formally recognized in astronomy, but it's a popular term among stargazers and amateur astronomers. 

         It refers to the second new moon in a calendar month. 

HISTORY OF BLACK MOON :

          A black moon occurs when the lunar cycle, which averages 29.5 days, causes two new moons to appear in a single month. 

The moon is not visible during this phase because the illuminated side faces away from Earth.There is no scientific evidence to support any of the beliefs associated with a black moon.

THE BLUE MOON:

          A blue moon is the opposite of a black moon, and occurs when there are two full moons in a single month. 

DURING A BLACK MOON:

          Black Moons are invisible, like all new Moons, so you won’t see the Moon itself!

The new Moon always rises near sunrise and crosses the sky with the Sun during the day, so the glare of the Sun is too strong to allow us to see the Moon.  See our handy chart on “When Will the Moon Rise Tonight?”

       Remember, there are four quarters of the Moon—the Moon phases. There’s usually a new Moon and a full Moon about once a month, because the Moon takes about a month to orbit Earth.

      With the “full Moon,” the entire disk of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun (because the two celestial objects are on opposite sides of the sky).In contrast, the “new Moon” has its dark side facing us. It’s not reflecting any of the Sun’s light because the Moon is lined up between the Earth and Sun. Only the far side of the Moon is illuminated, and we can’t see this side from Earth.

STARS: 

         Although you can’t see the Black Moon, the good news is that a moonless sky is excellent for stargazing (since the Moon’s light won’t drown out the stars). 

A day or two after the new Moon, you’ll see the slim crescent Moon in the west after sunset. This is such a magical moment. Often you’ll not only see the crescent but also the darkened area of the Moon’s disk shining dimly. The reflected light is called Earthshine.
