Moon phase and lunation details
6 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 6 days on 22 June 2007 at 13:15.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♐ Sagittarius
Moon is passing about ∠25° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1814"
Lunar disc appears visually 4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1814" and ∠1887".
Strawberry Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2007 after 1 day on 30 June 2007 at 13:49.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 30 June 2007 at 13:49
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 7 July 2007 at 16:54
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 14 July 2007 at 12:04
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 22 July 2007 at 06:29
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 92 / 1045
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 92 of Meeus index or 1045 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.37 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 51 minutes. It is 2 hours and 8 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 53 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 16 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠38.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠38.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠64.2°.
Moon after apogee
4 days after point of apogee on 24 June 2007 at 14:25 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 July 2007 at 21:38 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 395 244 km
The Moon is 395 244 km (245 593 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 534 km (228 996 mi).
Moon before ascending node
8 days after descending node on 20 June 2007 at 19:32 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 5 July 2007 at 01:39 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
21 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon at southern standstill
At 15:41 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-28.215°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠28.251° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 12 July 2007 at 16:38.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 30 June 2007 at 13:49 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
