New Moon October 2027: Highlights and Observation
What makes this New Moon special
On October 29, 2027 the Moon is about 377,000 km from Earth, slightly below the mean distance of 384,400 km, so it is neither a supermoon nor a micromoon. Across the year it ranks 7th closest of 13 New Moons in 2027; the New Moon of September (367,000 km) was about 10,000 km closer, the one of November (388,000 km) will be about 11,000 km farther away.
Observing from London
On the New Moon day, October 29, the Moon rises in London at 07:59 BST and sets at 17:08, almost in step with the Sun, which is why it stays invisible. The night is moonless: dark window from sunset at 17:40 to sunrise at 07:49 (about 14.1 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.
Tip for October 2027
Long, dark evenings for autumn constellations: the Great Square of Pegasus and Andromeda are well placed.
