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 27 November 2095 at 00:54 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 ∠11° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2095 after 13 days on 11 December 2095 at 06:21.
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 ∠1797" and ∠1945".
At 00:54 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1186 of Meeus index or lunation 2139 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 30 minutes. It is 2 hours and 10 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 4 hours and 46 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 17 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠219.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠255°.
4 days since point of apogee on 23 November 2095 at 06:05 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 December 2095 at 04:46 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 398 783 km (247 792 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 362 638 km (225 333 mi).
Moon is in descending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 10:29 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 10 December 2095 at 14:42 in ♊ Gemini.
12 days since the last northern standstill on 15 November 2095 at 06:31 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.649° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.668° at the point of next southern standstill on 29 November 2095 at 21:18 in ♑ Capricorn.
14 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♊ Gemini 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.
