You can't see it, but a rare 'black moon' is due this week. How it happens.

Even now there is something so mysterious about the moon. The fact we get third new moons and full moons on some astrological seasons is so fascinating.

It's just a byproduct of our calendar.

Nope. This is three in an astronomical season between the solstice and equinox. Not based on our calendar. So based on the earth and the moons rotation
