A rare lunar event will happen tonight- the black moon!
A Black Moon isn’t an official astronomical term, but it’s used to describe unusual timings of new moon phases. This week’s event falls under the “seasonal” definition: the third new moon in a season that contains four new moons. A new moon is the phase when the moon’s sunlit side faces away from Earth, making it invisible in our sky as it rises and sets with the sun.
Normally, each season has three new moons, but the lunar cycle doesn’t line up perfectly with our calendar. Every so often, an “extra” new moon sneaks in and the third in that sequence is dubbed a Black Moon.
While you won’t actually see anything unusual (in fact, you won’t see the moon at all), this event is still exciting because of its rarity.
The days immediately following the Black Moon will reveal one of the most beautiful lunar sights: the thinnest crescent.
The second last unofficial weekend of summer will bring a mixed bag of weather.
It’ll be nice on Friday with sunshine on and off and a high of 26C.
However, there’s a slight chance for some showers both Saturday and Sunday with a high of 26C for both days.
