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 9 November 2083 at 20:15 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 ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2083 after 14 days on 24 November 2083 at 08:23.
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 ∠1957" and ∠1938".
At 20:15 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1037 of Meeus index or lunation 1990 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 10 minutes. It is 42 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 34 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 35 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠343.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠359.3°.
11 days since point of apogee on 29 October 2083 at 11:06 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 10 November 2083 at 19:25 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 366 290 km (227 602 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 487 km (222 753 mi).
7 days after descending node on 2 November 2083 at 04:57 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 5 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 14 November 2083 at 20:37 in ♑ Capricorn.
10 days since the last northern standstill on 29 October 2083 at 17:47 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.436° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.371° at the point of next southern standstill on 12 November 2083 at 02:36 in ♐ Sagittarius.
21 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♑ Capricorn 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.
