The new moon
The astronomical new moon before Ramadan 2028 occurs on Wednesday, 26 January 2028 at 15:12 UTC, and the new moon before Shawwal on Friday, 25 February 2028 at 10:37 UTC (US Naval Observatory). The new moon itself is invisible. The crescent can usually be seen only on a later evening, once the moon is old enough and far enough from the sun, which is why a sighted start can differ from a calculated one.
