New Moon on . The illuminated surface of the Moon is 1%. Lunar cycle is 1 day young.
* The exact date and time of this New Moon phase is on 13 July 2075 at 06:11 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 ∠12° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2075 after 15 days on 27 July 2075 at 16:54.
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 ∠1768" and ∠1887".
At 14:39 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 933 of Meeus index or lunation 1886 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 32 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2075. 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 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 is ∠170.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠193.2°.
1 day since point of apogee on 11 July 2075 at 19:15 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 14 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 26 July 2075 at 17:26 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 405 389 km (251 897 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 14 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 712 km (222 893 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 17:08 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next descending node later on 26 July 2075 at 08:37 in ♑ Capricorn.
At 12:41 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠22.666°. Over the upcoming 13 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-22.675° at the point of next southern standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 26 July 2075 at 05:07.
At 17:08 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
