Black Super Moon



By the time I post this, we will be one hour away from the moment of new moon (9:46pm GMT), the second this month. This makes it a Black Moon. (opposite of a Blue Moon) To make it even more rare and groovy, both the New Year's Day new moon, and this Chinese New Years (year of the Green Wood Horse) new moon today are at their closest point to the Earth (perigee-syzygy) colloquially known as a Supermoon.
