Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 99%. The lunar cycle is 15 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 28 June 2064 at 20:08 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Strawberry of June 2064.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1854" and ∠1887".
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 797 of Meeus index or 1750 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 25 minutes and it is 1 hour and 22 minutes longer than the upcoming 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 2 hours and 19 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 50 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠269.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠301.5°.
6 days since point of perigee on 23 June 2064 at 00:41 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 July 2064 at 04:32 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 386 522 km (240 174 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 174 km (251 142 mi).
10 days after descending node on 18 June 2064 at 18:43 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 1 July 2064 at 18:41 in ♒ Aquarius.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 27 June 2064 at 18:18 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.335° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.364° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 July 2064 at 04:20 in ♊ Gemini.
24 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
