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 11 June 2067 at 20:41 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 leaving the last ∠1° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♋ Cancer later.
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2067 after 14 days on 27 June 2067 at 02:52.
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 ∠1790" and ∠1889".
At 20:41 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 834 of Meeus index or lunation 1787 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 35 minutes. It is 45 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 51 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 12 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠132.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠159.9°.
12 days since point of perigee on 31 May 2067 at 07:21 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 16 June 2067 at 03:04 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 400 349 km (248 765 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 510 km (251 972 mi).
1 day after descending node on 11 June 2067 at 19:56 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 13 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 26 June 2067 at 02:38 in ♐ Sagittarius.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 11 June 2067 at 14:57 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠23.109° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 13 days to face maximum declination of ∠-23.109° at the point of next southern standstill on 25 June 2067 at 22:32 in ♐ Sagittarius.
13 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius 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.
