Moon is passing about ∠7° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 5 days on 27 June 2014 at 08:09.
Buck Moon after 9 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2014 after 9 days on 12 July 2014 at 11:25.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1776"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1776" and ∠1887".
Lunation 179 / 1132
The Moon is 5 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 179 of Meeus index or 1132 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 33 minutes and it is 58 minutes shorter than the upcoming 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 49 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 14 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠144.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠144.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠169.2°.
Moon after apogee
1 day since point of apogee on 30 June 2014 at 19:09 in ♌ Leo 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 13 July 2014 at 08:27 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 403 621 km(250 798 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 259 km(222 612 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after descending node on 21 June 2014 at 20:30 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 6 July 2014 at 09:50 in ♎ Libra.
6 days since the last northern standstill on 26 June 2014 at 08:34 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.035° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.982° at the point of next southern standstill on 10 July 2014 at 17:29 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 9 days on 12 July 2014 at 11:25 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.
