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 July 2095 at 19:54 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 ∠6° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2095 after 15 days on 17 July 2095 at 08:31.
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 ∠1876" and ∠1887".
At 19:54 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1181 of Meeus index or lunation 2134 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 34 minutes. It is 2 hours and 3 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 1 hour and 10 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 59 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠76.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠110.9°.
5 days since point of perigee on 25 June 2095 at 17:27 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 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 9 July 2095 at 01:10 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 382 079 km (237 413 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 250 km (251 189 mi).
1 day after ascending node on 30 June 2095 at 06:21 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 13 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 14 July 2095 at 15:36 in ♐ Sagittarius.
At 21:09 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠24.901°. Over the upcoming 14 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-24.908° at the point of next southern standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 16 July 2095 at 07:31.
1 day since the beginning of this draconic month in ♊ Gemini 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.
