@maria2111215: September 10: The Moon will seemingly disappear and the night sky will become the real show. Late tonight in the eastern U.S., the Moon reaches its New Moon phase. At New Moon, the Moon lies near the Sun in our sky, with its illuminated side facing mostly away from Earth making the lunar disk essentially invisible against the Sun’s glare. But what disappears from view gives stargazers something extraordinary in return: dark skies with almost no moonlight to overpower faint stars and deep-sky objects. Far from city lights, this is the kind of September night when the Milky Way, star clusters and countless faint points of light can reveal themselves more clearly. Sometimes the Moon’s most beautiful gift is simply getting out of the way. #NewMoon #DarkSkies #Stargazing #NightSky #Astronomy
