Black moons, meanwhile, are the second new moon that occur in a single calendar month. Similar to the supermoon term, black moon is not an official astronomy term.
January 30, 2014 – gives us the second of two supermoons to occur in a single calendar month. The first supermoon came on January 1. A single calendar month won’t harbor two supermoons again until January 2018.
The astrologer Richard Nolle is credited for coining the term supermoon, which he defines as “. . . a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth . ..”
By this definition, the new moon or full moon has to come within 361,863 kilometers (224,851 miles) of our planet, as measured from the centers of the moon and Earth.
Therefore, the year 2014 gives us a total of five supermoons: two January new moons, and the full moons of July, August and September.
The full moon on August 10, 2014, will showcase the closest supermoon of the year (356,896 kilometers or 221,765 miles).
However, the new moons on January 1 and January 30 are not all that far behind, featuring the year’s second-closest and third-closest supermoons, respectively.
On January 1, the moon turned new less than 10 hours before reaching lunar perigee– the moon’s closest point to Earth in its orbit.
On January 30, the moon turns new around 12 hours after lunar perigee.
Don’t expect to see the new moon on January 30. At the vicinity of new moon, the moon hides in the glare of the sun all day long, and pretty much rises with the sun at sunrise and sets with the sun at sunset. It is known as a BLACK MOON .....However, if you were on the moon, looking at Earth, you’d see a full Earth.
Spring tides accompany new moon
Will the tides be larger than usual? Yes, all new moons (and full moons) team up with the sun to usher in larger-than-usual tides, but perigee new moons (or perigee full moons) elevate the tides even more.
Each month, on the day of the new moon, the Earth, moon and sun are aligned, with the moon in between. This line-up creates wide-ranging tides, known as spring tides.
High spring tides climb up especially high, and on the same day low tides plunge especially low
