Chapter 89 - Chapter 41 Watching the Moonrise

The Black Moon hung low in the sky, appearing about the same size as the white moon but much darker in color, nearly fading into the ink-blue canopy above.

The teacher said it was so dark because its surface was rough, not smooth, absorbing and scattering most of the sunlight, preventing reflection into people's eyes.
