A rare Black Moon graced the skies on August 23, 2025. But don't worry if you missed it! Two more are on their way. In August 2027, a "monthly Black Moon"—two new moons in a single month—will appear. Following that, a "seasonal Black Moon," the third new moon in a season with four, will darken the night sky on August 20, 2028. These celestial events are infrequent, making them exciting for sky watchers.
