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 leaving the last ∠4° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♋ Cancer later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1825" and ∠1889".
Strawberry Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2029 after 13 days on 26 June 2029 at 03:22.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 19 June 2029 at 09:54
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 26 June 2029 at 03:22
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 3 July 2029 at 17:58

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 364 / 1317
At 03:50 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 364 of Meeus index or 1317 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.5 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 1 minute. It is 1 hour and 56 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 44 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 26 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠244.2°
The true anomaly is ∠244.2°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠279.1°.
Moon after apogee
5 days after point of apogee on 6 June 2029 at 22:09 in ♈ Aries. 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 22 June 2029 at 15:35 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 392 745 km
The Moon is 392 745 km (244 040 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 366 596 km (227 792 mi).
Moon before descending node
13 days after ascending node on 29 May 2029 at 17:34 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 13 June 2029 at 04:49 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
13 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the first to the middle part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 11 June 2029 at 22:05 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠24.392°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-24.401° at the point of next southern standstill on 24 June 2029 at 23:29 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
