Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 376 / 1329
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is 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°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠189°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠213.7°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 14 June 2030 at 23:37 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 27 June 2030 at 14:14 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 364 211 km
The Moon is 364 211 km (226 310 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 881 km (252 203 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 05:24 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 28 June 2030 at 23:50 in ♊ Gemini.
New draconic month
At 05:24 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon at southern standstill
At 07:44 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-22.735°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠22.734° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 29 June 2030 at 02:45.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
