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 June 2093 at 21:04 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 ∠11° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2093 after 14 days on 8 July 2093 at 17:14.
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 ∠1768" and ∠1888".
At 21:04 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1156 of Meeus index or lunation 2109 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 31 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2093. It is 13 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 47 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 16 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠167.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠190.3°.
14 days since point of perigee on 10 June 2093 at 08:55 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 25 June 2093 at 06:06 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is 405 344 km (251 869 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 382 km (252 514 mi).
12 days after descending node on 11 June 2093 at 20:52 in ♑ Capricorn 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 25 June 2093 at 19:10 in ♋ Cancer.
At 15:06 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠21.648°. Over the upcoming 13 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-21.641° at the point of next southern standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 8 July 2093 at 09:04.
25 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♋ Cancer 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.
