Rare Black Moon to Rise This Weekend: What You Need to Know

A Black Moon, which occurs when a season has four new moons instead of three, is happening on August 23. It is an invisible lunar event that offers a great opportunity for stargazing, as the absence of moonlight enhances visibility of faint celestial objects like the Milky Way. There are different types of Black Moons, including those that occur seasonally or within a calendar month, but all are primarily notable for their impact on night sky observation rather than any visible lunar phenomena.
