This ‘Black Moon’ thingummy … is that what we noobs call ‘an eclipse’?
Because we all know that physical events occur based on oddities of our human created calendar. And the Western calendar only. Sorry other cultures, our bad.
Now that the term “black moon” has been created, we’re never going to get the misuse of “blue moon” fixed. It means the 4th moon in an ecclesiastic quarter.
The linked site made no sense. We are coming up a new moon, yes, but that means the moon is between us and the sun. When the “illuminated side of the moon is in the earth’s shadow” that is called a lunar eclipse and can happen only when the moon is full (and lying near the ecliptic). So if the site doesn’t know that what does it know?
In 2014, the year of the last Black Moon, Gov. Lepage got re-elected. Now another one happens when Trump is running for President:eek:
So I guess today we’re living on the eve of destruction?
This is not instructional. Also, don’t waste your last day watching it. Stinkeroo!
So I guess I don’t have to give my husband a first anniversary/birthday present.
No. It’s the opposite of a “blue moon”: the second new moon in a calendar month. Which happens pretty often, really. So, the world has been destroyed several times, the most recently in March 2014. Apparently, we got better. ![]()
On balance, the internet is much too easily trolled.
That’s a good plan.

Peter: It was GMT, wasn’t it?
Jonathan: Yes.
Peter: Well, it’s not quite the conflagration I had been banking on. Never mind, lads. Same time tomorrow - we must get a winner one day.

How much time left? Need answer fast.
Well, I canceled my mortgage check. Nothing to do now but wait.
If this had been August, we’d at least have another day. Oh well, better than February.
Well?! I’m waiting.
September 30 is over in Australia and it’s now October 1. Well, it would be if Australia still existed. Note that no Australians have participated in this thread for the last 3-4 hours.
Maybe it’s actually a spiritual apocalypse.
… no boom?
Not even a whimper.
