According to "February Night Sky" in my Monday newspaper, however, the
Moon will be new on the 29th of *this* month. "Times" readers will,
however, "see" it on the 28th.

No wonder more people are turning to my Nightscenes 2006 book instead of
the Times version then as New Moon occurs on February 28th at 00:31UT
