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 11 July 2067 at 11:16 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 ∠20° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2067 after 14 days on 26 July 2067 at 09:58.
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 ∠1774" and ∠1887".
At 11:16 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 835 of Meeus index or lunation 1788 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 20 minutes. It is 12 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 36 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 27 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠159.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠183°.
13 days since point of perigee on 28 June 2067 at 09:11 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 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 13 July 2067 at 14:29 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 403 947 km (251 001 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 361 km (252 501 mi).
2 days after descending node on 9 July 2067 at 01:59 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 23 July 2067 at 12:01 in ♐ Sagittarius.
2 days since the last northern standstill on 8 July 2067 at 21:14 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠23.104° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-23.048° at the point of next southern standstill on 23 July 2067 at 09:15 in ♐ Sagittarius.
15 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.
