FORGOTTEN HISTORY: New moon of august 2025 gets eclipsed today | History Defined

A yellow circle, the sun, is partially blocked out in the top right portion by a dark gray circle, the moon as it passes nearby in a gray sky. Both spheres are labeled with yellow font.

September's new moon will partially eclipse the sun, though the eclipse will only be visible from the southern Pacific Ocean and Antarctica.

A new moon is when the moon shares the same celestial longitude as the sun; the two bodies are said to be in conjunction. This occurs about every 29.5 days. The exact moment of this months' new moon occurs today (Sept. 21) at 3:54 p.m. EDT (1954 GMT).
