Astrological news from the "The Old Farmer's Almanac"! And, remember, for excellent viewing of night-time celestial events, the "Library of Things" at Hubbard Public Library has different types of telescopes you can borrow! AND, you can now also borrow BINOCULARS from the Library of Things! These binoculars are ideal for night-time viewing of the skies AND day-time bird watching, wildlife watching and more!!
Tonight is September's New Moon! 🌑 This phase is named as such because it starts a new lunar cycle. At this time, the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, meaning that they are closest together in the sky, on the same side of Earth (Sun→Moon→Earth).
From our perspective, the Moon appears totally dark: We can not usually see it because we are facing the Moon’s shadowed side, which does not receive any direct sunlight. But if we were to travel to the other side of the Moon, the part that faces the Sun, it would be totally illuminated.
