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 2 June 2095 at 09:58 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 ∠13° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2095 after 15 days on 17 June 2095 at 22:05.
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 ∠1910" and ∠1892".
At 09:58 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1180 of Meeus index or lunation 2133 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 56 minutes. It is 1 hour and 38 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 48 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 21 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠47.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠76.3°.
3 days since point of perigee on 30 May 2095 at 08:46 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 June 2095 at 06:34 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 375 213 km (233 147 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 398 km (251 281 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♊ Gemini at 21:43 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 14 days until Moon's next descending node later on 17 June 2095 at 07:30 in ♐ Sagittarius.
10 days since the last southern standstill on 22 May 2095 at 16:48 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-24.914° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠24.917° at the point of next northern standstill on 4 June 2095 at 12:12 in ♋ Cancer.
At 21:43 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
