On May 17, 2026, the Moon vanishes from the night sky over Brazil and the wider world, entering its New phase at zero visibility — a quiet reset in the oldest clock humanity has ever known. This particular lunar cycle carries an unusual abundance: May holds two Full Moons, one at its opening and one at its close, a doubling born from the gentle mismatch between the Moon's 29.5-day rhythm and the calendar's 31-day measure. In the darkness of this moonless night lies not absence, but anticipation — the next crescent will rise within six days, and with it, the slow return of light.
