Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 6 June 2024 at 12:38.
Strawberry Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2024 after 14 days on 22 June 2024 at 01:08.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1867"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1867" and ∠1890".
Lunation 302 / 1255
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 302 of Meeus index or 1255 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 20 minutes and it is 1 hour and 56 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 24 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 45 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠60.7°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠60.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠93.2°.
Moon after perigee
5 days since point of perigee on 2 June 2024 at 07:23 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 June 2024 at 13:36 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 383 891 km(238 539 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 078 km(251 082 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 2 June 2024 at 03:08 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 15 June 2024 at 20:17 in ♎ Libra.
At 16:40 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠28.365°. Over the upcoming 14 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-28.345° at the point of next southern standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 22 June 2024 at 02:41.
In 14 days on 22 June 2024 at 01:08 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.
