Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1793" and ∠1887".
Buck Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2032 after 15 days on 22 July 2032 at 18:51.

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 402 / 1355
At 14:41 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 402 of Meeus index or 1355 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.6 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 30 minutes. It is 1 hour and 15 minutes shorter 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 46 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 17 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠140.6°
The true anomaly is ∠140.6°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠166.3°.
Moon before perigee
11 days after point of perigee on 25 June 2032 at 14:55 in ♑ Capricorn. 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 11 July 2032 at 07:50 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 399 707 km
The Moon is 399 707 km (248 366 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 826 km (252 169 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 2 July 2032 at 05:24 in ♉ Taurus. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 16 July 2032 at 18:15 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
17 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 5 July 2032 at 14:56 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.659°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.579° at the point of next southern standstill on 20 July 2032 at 03:40 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.
