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 23 September 2090 at 17:03 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 leaving the last ∠2° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♎ Libra later.
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2090 after 15 days on 8 October 2090 at 15:54.
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 ∠1973" and ∠1913".
At 17:03 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1122 of Meeus index or lunation 2075 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 6 minutes. It is 1 hour and 33 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 38 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 31 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠3.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠19.7°.
Moon is at perigee at 11:39 about 13 days since last apogee on 9 September 2090 at 14:56 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next apogee on 6 October 2090 at 16:44 in ♓ Pisces.
This perigee Moon is 357 224 km (221 969 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 284 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 132 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon is in ascending node in ♍ Virgo at 00:57 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 6 October 2090 at 13:25 in ♓ Pisces.
5 days since the last northern standstill on 17 September 2090 at 14:20 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.226° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.246° at the point of next southern standstill on 30 September 2090 at 02:41 in ♑ Capricorn.
At 00:57 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.
