New moons have sparked human interest since the beginning of time. The Farmer’s Almanac still offers information on gardening by the moon, and many cultures celebrate holidays that are aligned with the moon’s phases. Experience true darkness away from the city lights during the new moon at Allerton! Hike the south side of the park under a moonless sky, and take advantage of the blocked-out sun to get an unimpeded look at the stars.
