In a groundbreaking twist on lunar observation, NASA has declared March 29th as “The Day the Moon Goes Dark,” prompting astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) to declare it their official Netflix binge day. As the moon hangs in the sky like a forgotten lollipop under a park bench, scientists are rallying around the unique opportunity to catch up on their favorite shows without the moonlight stealing their focus. With the moon currently at 0% visibility – known in astronomical terms as a zero moon day – astronauts are reportedly “over the moon” about the temporary lack of celestial distraction. “Honestly, I didn’t sign up for space to worry about moonlit reflections messing with my binge-watching. I'm here to enjoy the wonders of the universe,” stated Commander Larry Lightyear, as he prepared his popcorn for an epic night of streaming. Astronomers advise amateur stargazers to lower their expectations for the night sky since even the fish in the sea know where the moon is today; it's nowhere to be found. “It’s basically an empty black void,” commented Dr. Luna Moondust, lead astronomer at the Institute of Celestial Lameness. “I highly recommend staying inside, or just taking a nap. Seriously, it’s not worth it.” However, this rare lunar event doesn’t come without its controversies. Critics argue that modern technology has ruined the moon’s mystique. “Back in my day, we looked at the sky and marveled at the full moon, not slouched on a couch watching shows about people building tiny houses,” grumbled Harold Starwatcher, president of the Society for the Preservation of Moonwatching-Rites. Despite the naysaying, millions of Earth-dwellers are aligning their couch cushions and preparing to witness the “new moon” from the comfort of their homes. Experts predict that viewership of space-related content will surge, leading to record-breaking numbers for shows like “The Universe’s Best Knocks” and “Planet Fact or Fiction: Moon Edition.” As astronauts settle in for another episode of “The Great Space Bake-Off,” it seems clear that the moon will remain quiet for now, leaving humans to their terrestrial dramas. So grab your blankets and pop some corn—tonight’s forecast calls for no moon and an abundance of streaming joy as humanity finds solace in the void above, where nothing shines, but lots of Netflix surely does.
