Unlike a “supermoon,” which grabs the interest of people so they can see a slightly larger and brighter moon, with a Black Moon you sadly can’t view it.
However, a couple of nights later, you will be able to make out a slender sliver of a waxing crescent moon.
Stargazers will be able to spot this low in the western twilight sky around 30 or 40 minutes after sunset.
When the Black Moon arrives this weekend, it will take place shortly before one of the largest festivals in the Muslim calendar, Eid al-Fitr.
