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 13 June 2094 at 00:03 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 passing about ∠16° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2094 after 15 days on 28 June 2094 at 09:58.
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 ∠1835" and ∠1889".
At 12:09 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1167 of Meeus index or lunation 2120 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 54 minutes. It is 1 hour and 39 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 50 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 19 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠74.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠109.9°.
9 days since point of perigee on 2 June 2094 at 22:20 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 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 18 June 2094 at 13:22 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 390 513 km (242 654 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 846 km (251 560 mi).
11 days after descending node on 1 June 2094 at 01:35 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 14 June 2094 at 04:44 in ♋ Cancer.
11 days since the last southern standstill on 1 June 2094 at 08:45 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.296° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.310° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 June 2094 at 13:39 in ♋ Cancer.
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.
