The British newspaper The Mirror on Wednesday reported that tonight will see the appearance of a large black moon, and few people will be lucky enough to enjoy this rare astronomical phenomenon.
The moon will disappear from the sky tonight, making it particularly dark, and although this darkness may seem odd, it offers the perfect opportunity to observe other stars.
This is the last appearance of the black moon since 2016, appearing almost every 29 months, but due to different schedules around the world, the month in which it appears can change.
This means that tonight's moon will only appear in the US, while the UK will have a date with it next month.
This phenomenon occurs when the moon and sun share the same elliptical meridian, meaning that the lunar disk is not visible from earth. Since the moon is not visible, the surrounding stars appear more clearly in the sky.
The black moon will look huge, as it will be at its closest point to Earth, while most massive objects will appear larger in the sky tonight, as this new moon will not be visible to the eye. often.
