On Wednesday, September 29, 2027 there is a New Moon. The Moon is on the same side of Earth as the Sun, so almost none of its sunlit half faces us (0%). When the alignment is exact, a New Moon can cause a solar eclipse, but that only happens a few times a year because the Moon's orbit is tilted about 5° to Earth's.
On Wednesday, September 29, 2027, the Moon is at or near New Moon, with about 0% of its disk lit. At this phase the Moon sits roughly between Earth and the Sun, so the side facing us is in shadow. It rises and sets with the Sun, and its glare hides it in daylight, which makes it practically invisible from New York, NY.
Viewing tips
This is the best time of the month for stargazing, meteor watching and Milky Way photography, because there is no moonlight. Head to a dark site away from city lights and give your eyes 20–30 minutes to adapt.
The next major phase is the First Quarter on October 7 at 7:48 AM EDT, 8 days from now.
