A new supermoon is a new moon that nearly coincides with the closest point that the Moon comes to the Earth in its orbit, called perigee. While you cannot directly see a new moon, it may leave a larger-than usual empty space in the sky. There isn’t an official definition for how close the moon must be to the Earth to be considered a supermoon. Depending on the version you use, the moon needs to be approximately 360,000 kilometers from the Earth or closer.

Will November New Moon be a seasonal black moon?

No, as Autumn will have three new moons and not four, the November new moon will not be a seasonal black moon.

There are four potential definitions for a black moon, though all unofficial. As a result, it’s not rare to have a black moon in a year. It’s not possible to have all four in one year.

• A month with two new moons
• A month without a full moon, only a new moon
• A month without a new moon, only a full moon
• A season with four new moons, making the third a seasonal black moon

Because February has either 28 or 29 days, it’s the only calendar month that may not have both a new moon and a full moon in a given year.
