28th March - New Moon

Moon, on its circular path around the Earth is located on the same side, of where the Sun is located. And hence not visible under the bright light of the Sun. Making the Night, Moon less and best for viewing twinkling stars and observe faint objects like galaxies and star clusters as there will be no interference from the moon light.

28th January- New Moon

The Moon will be in the New Moon phase. That means the Moon will be located at the side of the Sun on its orbit around the Earth. So, for a viewer on Earth, the Moon and Sun will seems to be very close to each other, however they can’t actually see the Moon because of the very bright light of the Sun. On this day, the Nights are Moonless, meaning there will be Moon to see in the Night sky because the Moon rises with the Sun and also sets with the Sun. Hence, not visible at all.


The Nights might look quite boring without the Moon but are best for viewing twinkling stars and observe faint objects like galaxies and star clusters as there will be no interference from the moon’s light.
