The August New Moon Festival is a festival celebrated on the day of the new moon in August.
This year, the New Moon falls on August 27.
The best time to go stargazing is the days before, during and soon after each new Moon, when there is no Moon in the sky. During these times, there is no bright Moon to wash out the light from fainter stars.

Artemis is going to the Moon on Monday …
WHEN WILL ARTEMIS I LAUNCH?
If all goes well in the next 12 days, the countdown to liftoff will begin on Monday, August 29, as early as 8:33 a.m. Eastern. NASA’s engineers will have a two-hour window for launch that morning, so it is possible the rocket could be on the pad as late as 10:30 a.m. Eastern that day before take off.

Artemis I is just the beginning, however.
Artemis II, which is supposed to launch in 2024, will carry four astronauts to orbit the Moon. This will be the first manned flight outside of Earth’s orbit since Apollo 17 landed on the Moon in 1972 if it happens.
NASA plans for humanity to return to the Moon’s surface with Artemis III around 2025.
Will have the camera out tonight for sure.
