New Moon on . The illuminated surface of the Moon is 0%. Lunar cycle is 1 day young.
* The exact date and time of this New Moon phase is on 6 April 2092 at 21:41 UTC.
The moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2092 after 15 days on 22 April 2092 at 02:29.
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1797" and ∠1916".
At 21:41 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1141 of Meeus index or lunation 2094 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 58 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2092. It is 19 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 14 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 49 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠140.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠167.3°.
11 days since point of perigee on 25 March 2092 at 19:17 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 10 April 2092 at 15:02 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 398 907 km (247 869 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 857 km (252 188 mi).
4 days after descending node on 2 April 2092 at 11:01 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 10 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 17 April 2092 at 00:51 in ♌ Leo.
7 days since the last southern standstill on 30 March 2092 at 05:01 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.597° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.718° at the point of next northern standstill on 13 April 2092 at 15:44 in ♋ Cancer.
16 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♌ Leo the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
