Have you ever wondered at what stage you can see the new crescent moon?

In July 2011, the second New Moon of the month will occur on July 30th. Sighting of this crescent moon will also mark the start of Ramadan for the Muslim community. It should also prove interesting to see when the new crescent moon is sighted in northern parts of the world.

It is unlikely that a sighting of the new crescent moon will be made on July 30th due to the age of the Moon. However, a telescopic sighting of the new crescent Moon may be possible from as far east as Australia and Java and Sumatra in Indonesia on July 31st. Naked-eye sightings may also be possible under very good conditions from as far east as Central Africa, Madagascar and the western parts of the Indian Ocean on July 31st. Easier sightings may be possible from southern Africa, Central and South America and the Caribbean region later the same day. Most of the rest of the world should be able to sight the new crescent Moon on August 1st with the possible exception of northern parts of Japan, Asia and Europe, including the United Kingdom. Those regions will probably have to wait until August 2nd to make their sightings. Consequently, we would like to encourage as many observers as possible to try and observe the new crescent Moon from July 30th to August 2nd with particular emphasis on those observers in northern parts of Japan, Asia and Europe on August 1st and 2nd.

Please note: If you have subscribed to our e-mail warning of the date of the new Moon and failed to receive any warning, particularly since November 2009, could you please let us know.

If you go out just after sunset over the three or four days following the instant of new moon and have a look low in the western half of the sky near where the sun set, you can try and observe the new crescent moon.

You can make the observation with just your eyes or with binoculars or a telescope. Never look at the Sun directly or through binoculars or a telescope as you will damage your eyesight. If you are going to use binoculars or a telescope to find the new crescent moon, you must make sure the Sun has set.

The crescent moon will be faint shortly after new moon but will brighten from night to night as the crescent thickens. Cloud or aircraft vapour trails can easily be mistaken for the Moon so be careful when making the observation.

Scan the western horizon close to where the Sun set. If you can see the Moon, let us know by entering your observation and location in our report form. We need to know the date and time of your observation, what the crescent looked like, where it was in the sky relative to the position on the horizon where the Sun set and something about the weather conditions and you, the observer. Even if the weather is clear and you cannot see the Moon, let us know. A negative observation will also help us!

Come back to this site later in the month and you can find out what you should have seen from your observing site. You can also sign up for an e-mail reminder of the date and time of the next new moon so you can try your observing skills again.

Over time, we will process your observations and try to improve the models we use to predict the first sighting of the new crescent moon. Currently, these predictions produce a classification for a particular date and location ranging from A (crescent easily visible) through to F (crescent impossible to see).

For those groups who use the first sighting of the new crescent moon in their calendars, these predictions are very significant and mark the beginning and end of periods of fasting and festivals. More information on these predictions is available on this site.

This site allows observers to look at the global visibility of the next new moon, to check their observations of the last new moon, to report their observations and to receive/stop e-mail reminders of the next new moon.

Preliminary results will also be reported on the site when they become available.







What we want you to do

Go out each evening following the day of the new moon.
Find a westerly facing spot with a clear view of the horizon.
Wait for the Sun to set, then look for the crescent moon in that part of the sky.
Don't look directly at the Sun, using your naked eye, binoculars or a telescope.
Can you see the crescent moon? Are you sure? Is it a cloud or a vapour trail?
Make a note of where you were, the date and time of your observation, the weather conditions and whether you saw the Moon or not.
Come to this website and report your observation.
Try and observe the crescent moon each night until you see it, reporting each observation attempt.
Sign up for an e-mail reminder of the next new moon and come back next month and try the same thing again.
