Waning Crescent on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 3% and getting smaller. The lunar cycle is 27 days old.
The moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 6 days on 5 July 2075 at 04:00.
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2075 after 16 days on 27 July 2075 at 16:54.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1887".
The Moon is 27 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 933 of Meeus index or 1886 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 32 minutes and it is 33 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2075. 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 48 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 15 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠170.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠193.2°.
Moon is at apogee at 19:15 about 13 days since last perigee on 28 June 2075 at 08:13 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 15 days until point of next perigee on 26 July 2075 at 17:26 in ♑ Capricorn.
This apogee Moon is 406 374 km (252 509 mi) away from Earth. It is 966 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 335 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
12 days after descending node on 28 June 2075 at 21:55 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 12 July 2075 at 17:08 in ♋ Cancer.
12 days since the last southern standstill on 28 June 2075 at 18:29 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.668° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠22.666° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 July 2075 at 12:41 in ♋ Cancer.
26 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♋ Cancer the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
In 1 day on 13 July 2075 at 06:11 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
