New Moon June 2027: Highlights and Observation
What makes this New Moon special
This New Moon is a supermoon: at the moment of the phase on June 4, 2027, the Moon is only about 364,000 km from Earth, well below the mean distance of 384,400 km. By the 90 percent rule (distance within the closest 10 percent of its orbit, perigee of this orbit about 362,000 km) it qualifies as a supermoon. In 2027 it is the 4th closest of 13 New Moons; it is about 9,000 km closer than the New Moon of May (373,000 km) and about 5,000 km farther away than the one of July (359,000 km). A New Moon near perigee is invisible itself, but it noticeably strengthens the spring tides along the coasts.
Observing from London
On the New Moon day, June 4, the Moon rises in London at 03:43 BST and sets at 21:37, almost in step with the Sun, which is why it stays invisible. The night is moonless: dark window from sunset at 21:10 to sunrise at 04:46 (about 7.6 hours). Other locations in the UK differ by a few minutes.
Stargazing & Dark Skies
Deep Sky Observation
Around New Moon, the night sky is at its darkest. Weak celestial objects such as distant galaxies, star clusters, and faint nebulae are best observed now without light pollution from the moon.
Starry Night
Perfect timing for milky way photography or deep space astrophotography. A clear sky combined with a new moon delivers outstanding celestial clarity.
Tip for June 2027
Nights are short: the dark window centers on astronomical midnight — a first good look at the Summer Triangle.
