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 10 June 2097 at 02:13 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 leaving the last ∠4° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♋ Cancer later.
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2097 after 14 days on 24 June 2097 at 19:03.
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 ∠1973" and ∠1890".
At 02:13 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1205 of Meeus index or lunation 2158 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 44 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2097. It is 18 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 6 hours shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 9 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠355.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠10°.
Moon is at perigee at 09:12 about 13 days since last apogee on 28 May 2097 at 05:57 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next apogee on 24 June 2097 at 09:04 in ♐ Sagittarius.
This perigee Moon is 357 390 km (222 072 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2097. It is 5 118 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 965 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
2 days after ascending node on 7 June 2097 at 13:23 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 20 June 2097 at 09:05 in ♏ Scorpio.
12 days since the last southern standstill on 28 May 2097 at 19:06 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.488° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠27.467° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 June 2097 at 04:55 in ♋ Cancer.
2 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♉ Taurus 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.
