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 1 September 2092 at 22:14 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 ∠5° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2092 after 14 days on 15 September 2092 at 20:33.
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 ∠1855" and ∠1902".
At 22:14 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1146 of Meeus index or lunation 2099 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 1 minute. It is 48 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 and 43 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 26 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠282.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠312.2°.
6 days since point of apogee on 25 August 2092 at 18:58 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 8 September 2092 at 07:44 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 386 479 km (240 147 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 784 km (229 773 mi).
1 day after ascending node on 30 August 2092 at 21:39 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 12 September 2092 at 21:06 in ♒ Aquarius.
4 days since the last northern standstill on 28 August 2092 at 04:01 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.103° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.164° at the point of next southern standstill on 10 September 2092 at 11:11 in ♑ Capricorn.
1 day 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.
