There's an extremely rare celestial event happening Saturday night, and you won't want to miss it.
Ever hear of a Black Moon? Though it's not an official astronomy term, a Black Moon is when there's a second new moon in a calendar month — you can consider it the companion to a Blue Moon, which is a second full moon in a calendar month.
A rare occurrence that only happens roughly every 29 months, two alternative definitions of Black Moons, according to Timeanddate.com, include when there's no new moon in the month of February and when there are four new moons in a season — the Black Moon is the third new moon in that sequence. Since a new moon occurs when the moon is completely obscured by the Earth's shadow, you can't actually see a new moon — meaning astronomy enthusiasts won't technically be able to see Saturday's Black Moon either.
