Shalom Everyone~

Thought we would open up a new thread for the beginning of months so we can share with each other our new moon reports. For us here in NE Indiana the sky was mostly clear except a bit cloudy and hazy to the extreme west, which diminished visibility for a sighting of the crescent. Which was at approximately .011 at approximately 7:50 p.m. following very closely to the setting sun, our view was obscured.

Although; we have heard reports that the moon had been sighted in other places. See link:

On monday 5/5 @ 1218 UT (1418 JT), the lunar conjunction will occur.

The next sunset will be monday evening, making tuesday 5/6 the New Moon day, for those using the conjunction.

The next dawn will be monday morning, so 5/6 is valid for both the "dawn" and "even" folks.

(I'm not sure when it'll be for those going by & living near the 1000 mph "travelling dateline", or for those waiting on visibility.)
