On the night of August 23, 2025, a black month will rise on Russia, an unseen, but worth meeting outdoors, a rare astronomical phenomenon. Although the world’s satellite will be completely hidden from our eyes, the night sky will be particularly dark, ie perfectly suitable for observing stars and the Milky Way.
The black moon is not called a few types of new moon at the same time. Most of the time this is the second new month in the same calendar. In other cases, the term is used to refer to one third of the four new months falling on one season. There is another rare scenario: when there is no new month in the calendar month. We will see seasonal black bear in 2025 – this will be the third of the four in the astronomical season.
Despite the mystical name, the black month does not carry any threats. This is a absolute natural phenomenon that is associated with the orbit month and calendar calculation. However, thanks to the full darkness of the night sky, even ordinary lovers can make many celestial objects that are often invisible because of their bright moonlight.
It is recommended that astronomers go out of the city away from artificial lighting sources. Moscow time is the best time to observe after 2:00 in the morning. To make the experience even more exciting, you can buy a telescope, a starry map with you, or install one of the applications to observe the moon and stars on the phone.
The next Black Moon will only take place in 2027. And in 2028, an even more interesting phenomenon is expected-the new moon coincides with the moment of maximum rapprochement of the moon with the floor.
Although the black moon cannot be seen, it makes it possible to look at the universe a little clearer. And if you want to spend the evening under the stars for a long time – now time.
In the meantime, we have previously written how to spend the last month of summer in order not to get bored in winter (although it is impossible). Read the details here.
