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 8 September 2067 at 18:09 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 ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2067 after 14 days on 23 September 2067 at 00:54.
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 ∠1778" and ∠1905".
At 18:09 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 837 of Meeus index or lunation 1790 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 19 minutes. It is 33 minutes longer 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 35 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 28 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠207.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠237.7°.
2 days since point of apogee on 5 September 2067 at 23:25 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 21 September 2067 at 11:31 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 403 171 km (250 519 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 582 km (224 055 mi).
7 days after descending node on 1 September 2067 at 06:54 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 15 September 2067 at 19:19 in ♐ Sagittarius.
7 days since the last northern standstill on 1 September 2067 at 09:55 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.778° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.627° at the point of next southern standstill on 16 September 2067 at 01:16 in ♐ Sagittarius.
19 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.
