“2024 Will End With A Black Moon, A Rare Event You've Never Seen”

“The rare astronomical event is similar to a Blue Moon but for a
different phase in the lunar cycle.”
“This year will see (kind of) another rare astronomical event taking
place across the night sky. On December 30-31, we will have a rare Black
Moon to see out 2024.”
The whole point of a 'new moon' is that you DON'T see anything.
(As I first found out when I went outside and looked up at the sky
during what the almanac said was the exact time of 'newness' - I was
about 14 at the time...led to an interesting talk with Dad afterwards
- giggle)
