Our shot of the Moon from our new site tonight!
New Moon = Dark skies and stunning Milky Way 🌌
What is New Moon you may ask? This is the invisible phase of the Moon, with the illuminated side of the Moon facing the Sun and the night side facing Earth. In this phase, the Moon is in the same part of the sky as the Sun and rises and sets with the Sun. Not only is the illuminated side facing away from the Earth, it’s also up during the day. In this phase, the Moon doesn’t usually pass directly between Earth and the Sun, due to the inclination of the Moon’s orbit. It only passes near the Sun from our perspective on Earth.
With forecasts looking good, the next few nights are looking like a great time to experience just some of the action going on above us every night.
