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 4 July 2092 at 20:10 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 ∠22° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2092 after 13 days on 19 July 2092 at 00:24.
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 ∠1796" and ∠1887".
At 20:10 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1144 of Meeus index or lunation 2097 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 44 minutes. It is 1 hour and 24 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 1 hour longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 3 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠215.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠246.7°.
4 days since point of apogee on 1 July 2092 at 10:09 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 17 July 2092 at 01:42 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 399 041 km (247 953 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 975 km (224 921 mi).
12 days after descending node on 22 June 2092 at 19:17 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 7 July 2092 at 07:36 in ♌ Leo.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 4 July 2092 at 12:51 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.112° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.092° at the point of next southern standstill on 17 July 2092 at 20:34 in ♑ Capricorn.
25 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♌ Leo 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.
