    “The rare astronomical event is similar to a Blue Moon but for a
    different phase in the lunar cycle.”

    “This year will see (kind of) another rare astronomical event taking
    place across the night sky. On December 30-31, we will have a rare Black
    Moon to see out 2024.”

    I swear they are just making up moon-related terminology the past few years.

    In this case, apparently, in 2016. At least in this sense.

    [https://www.heyblackmoon.com/] and many others use it in a different
    context.

    Semantic goo is everywhere.
