It's a new moon so no of course you won't see it.

Like all new moons, without anything to illuminate it, there will be nothing to see - no moon in the sky, which is actually pretty cool. A couple of days later, you'll start to see a silver sliver, as the crescent moon increases in size.

If you've got the right equipment and you're up for a challenge, you could even try to beat the world record for the youngest moon ever photographed - set in 2013 by French photographer Thierry Legault, who managed to capture a shot, when the Sun and Moon were separated just 4.4 degrees

Some say a black moon occurs about once every 19 years, when the month of February skips a full moon.

Others say it describes a month that skips a new moon - the first phase of the lunar cycle, when the Moon and the Sun have the same elliptical longitude.

But the most common definition for a black moon is that it’s the second new moon in a calendar month, which means this Friday’s event is the second time in September that the Moon will be entirely invisible in the night sky - for those in the Western Hemisphere, at least.

If you’re familiar with your lunar cycles, you’ll know that a full moon occurs when the Earth-facing side of the Moon is completely illuminated by the Sun, thanks to its orbital position at a certain time of the month.

This means to viewers in the right hemisphere, it will look incredibly bright in the night sky.

And supposedly it's the harbinger of the worst winter in 50 years blah blah, snow, ice, storms, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit. So expect to have your shorts and shades on in December.

Th'on place over yonder

A black moon is nothing more than a the name for a 2nd new moon (where we can't see a moon) in a month - BUT it also refers to the 3rd new moon in a season of four new moons, a calendar month without a new moon or a calendar month without a full moon at all.... Next 1 like this is in July 2019

ALSO, a blue moon does exist and is reference to a 2nd full moon in the same calendar month or the 4th in a season. Next is on Jan 2018
