Here are some interesting facts about the new moon in 2020:

• The new moon on January 24, 2020, was a "black moon," which is a second new moon in a single month. This occurs because the lunar cycle and the calendar year are not perfectly synchronized.
• The new moon on March 24, 2020, was a "super new moon," which means that it occurred when the moon was at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. This made it appear slightly larger than usual.
• The new moon on May 22, 2020, was a "blood moon," which is a lunar eclipse that occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a reddish glow on the moon's surface.
