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 11 November 2091 at 03:42 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 ∠24° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2091 after 14 days on 26 November 2091 at 03:43.
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 ∠1970" and ∠1939".
At 03:42 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1136 of Meeus index or lunation 2089 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 12 minutes. It is 1 hour and 31 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 2 hours and 32 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 37 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠4.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠20.8°.
1 day since point of perigee on 10 November 2091 at 21:06 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 23 November 2091 at 23:32 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 363 799 km (226 054 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 275 km (252 448 mi).
5 days after ascending node on 5 November 2091 at 17:50 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 18 November 2091 at 04:24 in ♒ Aquarius.
9 days since the last northern standstill on 1 November 2091 at 15:30 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.224° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.311° at the point of next southern standstill on 14 November 2091 at 09:21 in ♑ Capricorn.
5 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♌ Leo the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first 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.
