Observing from London
On the New Moon day, March 8, the Moon rises in London at 06:15 GMT and sets at 18:19, almost in step with the Sun, which is why it stays invisible. The night is moonless: dark window from sunset at 17:52 to sunrise at 06:30 (about 12.6 hours). Other locations in the UK differ by a few minutes.
Stargazing & Dark Skies
Deep Sky Observation
Around New Moon, the night sky is at its darkest. Weak celestial objects such as distant galaxies, star clusters, and faint nebulae are best observed now without light pollution from the moon.
Starry Night
Perfect timing for milky way photography or deep space astrophotography. A clear sky combined with a new moon delivers outstanding celestial clarity.
