New moons occur at a precise instant; the night best for stargazing depends on local conditions and may be before or after that instant. In 2026, the February and August new moons coincide with solar eclipses. See the eclipse calendar for visibility details.
Phase instants use the U.S. Naval Observatory phase data and are shown in UTC.
