Starship Asterisk*

Not surprised. There likely is no term for a 2nd NEW moon in a month. The Full moon is obviously noticeable and has always been romanticized. By definition, an earthling can't see a NEW moon. The only time it gets noticeable press is during a total eclipse, like the one recently.

I have always known that a "blue moon" is the term for the 2nd FULL moon of a given month. Is there a term for for the 2nd NEW moon of a given month? The people at Griffith Park Observatory, Los Angeles, couldn't answer my question.

Thank You
