The black moon is occurring this weekend, but it won’t be visible from Earth. Here’s everything you need to know about the celestial event.

You've no doubt heard of supermoons, blue moons, mini moons and blood moons, but have you ever heard of a black moon?

"The days immediately following the black moon will reveal one of the most beautiful lunar sights: the thinnest crescent," Space.com stated. "On the evenings of Aug. 24 and Aug. 25, look toward the western horizon about 30 to 40 minutes after sunset to spot a delicate silver arc, the moon's first reappearance after going dark."
