A rare lunar phenomenon called the 'black moon' is set to occur tonight at 22:27 GMT ( 17:27 EDT ) The unusual astronomical event occurs only once every 29 months .

Because it's a new moon, the black moon cannot be seen, not even with a telescope.

The moon will be notable by its absence in the night's sky, as if it's been blotted out by the gods.

The Met Office warns of 'generally cloudy conditions' tonight which could impact visibility.
