New Moon Calendar 1995 with 13 new moons
In 1995 there were 13 new moons. The year had three black moons, technically four, and two solar eclipses.
The four primary lunar phases are the new moon, the first quarter, the full moon, and the last quarter. The lunar month last approximately a month or 29.53 days on average, also called a synodic month.
A new moon is the first lunar phase. You may be able to see a hint of it of it in the night sky. A full moon occurs when the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the moon to appear illuminated entirely. The first quarter moon occurs between the new moon and the full moon, and the last quarter moon occurs after the full moon and before the next new moon.
All times and dates are in the United States Eastern Time Zone, with Daylight Savings Time observed for part of the year. The dates in your local time may shift.
New Moon in 1995
April has an Annular Solar Eclipse, and there was a Total Solar Eclipse in October. The year was interesting for black moons. Both January and March had an extra new moon, leaving February without a new moon that could fit the calendar. Not having both a new and full moon in a month is another black moon definition. November also had a seasonal black moon with an extra Fall New Moon.
