New Moon In April 2024. For optimal auroral viewing, the moon may not disturb because light from the moon can be very bright which causes faint aurora to be barely visible, especially when the chances for auroral viewing are low. This is the first new moon of spring, coming after the total solar eclipse on april 8.
