10th New Moon Watch 2017

15 December 2017

Shalom Aleichem,

The tenth new moon is estimated to be visible in most locations on 19 December at sunset. Here in eastern Australia, the likelihood of seeing the new moon on 19 December is really low due to the expected brightness of the new moon at sunset.

Share your new moon sighting.

19 Dec. 20 Dec.
