New Moon on . The illuminated surface of the Moon is 0%. Lunar cycle is less than 1 day young.
* The exact date and time of this New Moon phase is on 25 November 2030 at 06:46 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 ∠6° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2030 after 14 days on 9 December 2030 at 22:40.
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 ∠1970" and ∠1944".
At 06:46 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 382 of Meeus index or lunation 1335 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 46 minutes. It is 13 minutes shorter 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 1 hour and 58 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 11 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠349.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠5.3°.
Moon is at perigee at 21:07 about 12 days since last apogee on 13 November 2030 at 05:00 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 14 days until point of next apogee on 10 December 2030 at 10:03 in ♊ Gemini.
This perigee Moon is 357 521 km (222 153 mi) away from Earth. It is 4 987 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 12 835 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon is in ascending node in ♏ Scorpio at 13:32 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next descending node later on 9 December 2030 at 01:17 in ♊ Gemini.
12 days since the last northern standstill on 12 November 2030 at 16:17 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠21.904° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-21.903° at the point of next southern standstill on 26 November 2030 at 06:20 in ♐ Sagittarius.
At 13:32 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
