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 ∠14° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1770" and ∠1892".
Strawberry Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2030 after 14 days on 15 June 2030 at 18:41.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 9 June 2030 at 03:36
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 15 June 2030 at 18:41
- Last Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 22 June 2030 at 17:19
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 30 June 2030 at 21:34
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 376 / 1329
At 06:21 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 376 of Meeus index or 1329 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.63 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 13 minutes. It is 1 hour and 36 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 29 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 34 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠189°
The true anomaly is ∠189°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠213.7°.
Moon after apogee
1 day after point of apogee on 31 May 2030 at 06:14 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 13 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 14 June 2030 at 23:37 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 404 965 km
The Moon is 404 965 km (251 634 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 13 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 183 km (222 565 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♊ Gemini at 17:30 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 13 days later on 15 June 2030 at 05:24 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
13 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon at northern standstill
At 20:22 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠22.730°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-22.735° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 15 June 2030 at 07:44.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
