New Moon September 2027: Highlights and Observation
What makes this New Moon special
This New Moon is a supermoon: at the moment of the phase on September 30, 2027, the Moon is only about 367,000 km from Earth, well below the mean distance of 384,400 km. By the 90 percent rule (distance within the closest 10 percent of its orbit, perigee of this orbit about 363,000 km) it qualifies as a supermoon. In 2027 it is the 5th closest of 13 New Moons; it is about 7,000 km farther away than the New Moon of August (360,000 km) and about 10,000 km closer than the one of October (377,000 km). A New Moon near perigee is invisible itself, but it noticeably strengthens the spring tides along the coasts.
Observing from London
On the New Moon day, September 30, the Moon rises in London at 07:34 BST and sets at 18:26, almost in step with the Sun, which is why it stays invisible. The night is moonless: dark window from sunset at 18:42 to sunrise at 07:00 (about 12.3 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 September 2027
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) climbs high: in a moonless autumn night it shows in binoculars as a hazy patch.
