Skywatchers will witness a rare black moon phenomenon on December 31, 2024, when the second new moon of the month occurs. This event, which is not officially recognized in astronomy, happens when the sun and moon align, making the moon invisible. The black moon will occur at 3:57 am IST in India, while it will be visible on December 30 in the U.S. Though the moon itself won't be visible, the event enhances the visibility of stars and planets. Jupiter, Venus, and constellations like Orion and Leo will be prominent in the night sky.
