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 3 July 2084 at 01:38 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 ∠17° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2084 after 14 days on 17 July 2084 at 17:01.
There is extremely high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is heavy, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment and the near perigee.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1887".
At 01:38 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1045 of Meeus index or lunation 1998 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 26 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2084. It is 45 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 42 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 21 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠180.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠203.8°.
Moon is at apogee at 00:38 about 14 days since last perigee on 18 June 2084 at 20:15 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next perigee on 17 July 2084 at 06:12 in ♑ Capricorn.
This apogee Moon is 406 487 km (252 579 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's farthest apogee of 2084. It is 1 079 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 222 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon is in descending node in ♋ Cancer at 17:59 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 17 July 2084 at 07:42 in ♑ Capricorn.
2 days since the last northern standstill on 1 July 2084 at 04:53 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.643° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.650° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 July 2084 at 08:06 in ♐ Sagittarius.
13 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is navigating from the middle to the last 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.
