Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1889".
Strawberry Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2026 after 15 days on 29 June 2026 at 23:57.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 15 June 2026 at 02:54
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 21 June 2026 at 21:55
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 29 June 2026 at 23:57
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 7 July 2026 at 19:29
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 326 / 1279
At 20:01 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 326 of Meeus index or 1279 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.29 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 53 minutes. It is 4 minutes longer 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 5 hours and 51 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 18 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠347.5°
The true anomaly is ∠347.5°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠2.5°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 23:18. It is 13 days after previous apogee on 1 June 2026 at 04:32 in ♐ Sagittarius. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 13 days, until point of next apogee on 28 June 2026 at 07:11 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 357 196 km
This perigee Moon is 357 196 km (221 951 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 312 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 160 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 7 June 2026 at 06:19 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 19 June 2026 at 17:57 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
7 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
12 days since the previous standstill on 1 June 2026 at 16:59 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.988°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠27.989° at the point of next northern standstill on 15 June 2026 at 05:29 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
