Synodic month length 29.42 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 11 minutes. It is 1 hour and 37 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).

Lunation length shorter than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 33 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 36 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠278.2°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠278.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠308.1°.

Moon before perigee

10 days after point of perigee on 31 May 2028 at 06:18 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 June 2028 at 04:46 in ♓ Pisces.

Distance to Moon 399 368 km

The Moon is 399 368 km (248 156 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 222 km (251 172 mi).

Moon after southern standstill

3 days since the previous standstill on 7 June 2028 at 11:55 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.908°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.920° at the point of next northern standstill on 21 June 2028 at 22:15 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Syzygy in 12 days

In 12 days on 22 June 2028 at 18:27 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
