2024 Will End With A Black Moon, A Rare Event You've Never Seen...The rare astronomical event is similar to a Blue Moon but for a different phase in the lunar cycle.

I see a Black Moon a risin’!................

At least we have a soundtrack to go with it.

Very jazzy..................

[Billthedrill]

I can’t wait to bundle up, haul the binos out, kill the house lights and watch...nothing. Maybe I’ll throw a party.

Cue the “racist kid”.

Always at night! Dang ‘aoc’ being right! 🤔😂

May not fit the definition of Black Moon but a few months ago while driving east, I watched the Moon rise just a dawn started and was just a big orange outline of the Moon.

Lasted just a couple of minutes and the lensing effect made large.

[LukeL]

It is a Duran Duran Moon.

“...making it difficult to see”

Indeed, it is SO difficult that I’ve never seen a New Moon. Maybe I’m not looking hard enough.

This nothing but unscientific environmental fear porn BS to influence the scientifically illiterate that something abnormal is occurring.

All this blue moon/black moon BS is an artifact of the calendar with no astronomical import other than coincidence. We might as well celebrate ‘crescent blue moons’ and ‘black waning moons’.

There are cycles not commonly known, like the roughly 19 year cycle of the moon phase repeating its exact position in the sky, relative to miniscule orbital latitude shift over the period from north to south. AKA moon nodes.

Ask the global warming folks why it takes 19 years to calculate exact tides for one specific location especially complex sites with bays and estuaries. We have precise data but due to these very subtle phase vs. Latitude differences, along with perigee and apogee, there could be minor changes in filling and emptying ocean water. If it takes that much observation to establish a known, repeatable effect even when we know moon and sun position to a fraction of a degree, how in the hell is climate data predictable with a hundred unquantifiable variables?

Ha ha ha ha! Well done.

Maybe visible during early or late daylight by way of light reflected off if the earth, and bouncing off the surface of the otherwise unlit moon, and back to earth for you to see!

Paging Sir Mix-a-Lot.

[Tom Tetroxide]

I thought I was a Cancer with a Black Moon rising or was it a Blue Moon?

[Red Badger]

Yeah, every time I look it’s the same old Moon, never a ‘new’ Moon...................

Unfortunately, as rare as this type of astronomical event may be, it is not actually a thing, just a name someone decided to invent surprisingly recently.
