New Moon Dates, 2013 / 2014
The New Moon occurs when the Moon and Sun are at the same geocentric ecliptic longitude. The part of the Moon facing us is completely in shadow then. Pictured here is the traditional New Moon, the earliest visible waxing crescent, which signals the start of a new month in many lunar and lunisolar calendars. Credit: NASA Goddard SVC

Here is the schedule for all the New Moons that will happen in 2013 and 2014. If you’re going to go skywatching, remember that the best time to see the night sky is when you have a new moon. When there’s a full moon, the dimmer skies are washed out. Please note that all the times listed are in Universal Time, also known as Greenwich Mean Time.
