Don’t Miss the Black Moon Meteor Show!

A rare Black Moon is about to turn the night sky into a stargazer’s dream! On August 22-23, the moon will be totally dark, making it perfect for spotting stars, the Milky Way, and even the last streaks of the Perseids meteor shower. This only happens every few years, so grab your binoculars or telescope and get outside for some next-level skywatching. Who’s staying up late for this cosmic blackout? #Science #BlackMoon #Stargazing

I was watching the Perseids during the peak and spotted 100 shooting 🌠 in an hour and a half. Including 2 fireballs.

The moon and some fog did affect. My daughter and I outside on a mattress with our 2 dogs until 3 in the morning. We didn’t see any but still awesome.

i have been trying so hard. either it's cloudy alot here on long island then the moon was full. i am not going to miss the black moon on the 22nd and 23rd next week. The sky will be so dark they say you can see the milky way, end of perseids and stars. i will be praying for clear skies.

We see lots of cool stuff out in Wyoming. We don't have any light pollution so the Milkyway is always clearly visible. Most nights are cloud free so seeing all of the stars and the Milkyway is Ama,ing.
