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 27 November 2065 at 21:40 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 first ∠0° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2065 after 15 days on 12 December 2065 at 19:52.
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 ∠1973" and ∠1945".
At 21:40 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 815 of Meeus index or lunation 1768 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 48 minutes. It is 59 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 57 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 13 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠0.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠16.6°.
Moon is at perigee at 20:39 about 13 days since last apogee on 14 November 2065 at 06:34 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next apogee on 11 December 2065 at 06:28 in ♊ Gemini.
This perigee Moon is 356 718 km (221 654 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2065. It is 5 790 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 293 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
9 days after descending node on 17 November 2065 at 22:02 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 30 November 2065 at 17:19 in ♑ Capricorn.
12 days since the last northern standstill on 15 November 2065 at 11:29 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.499° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-25.483° at the point of next southern standstill on 28 November 2065 at 19:46 in ♐ Sagittarius.
24 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♑ Capricorn 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.
