Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 21 May 2033 at 18:29.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1935" and ∠1893".
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2033 after 16 days on 12 June 2033 at 23:19.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 412 of Meeus index or 1365 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 50 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2033. It is 40 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 54 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 15 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠25.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠46°.
1 day after point of perigee on 25 May 2033 at 13:01 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 June 2033 at 10:13 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 370 396 km (230 153 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 291 km (251 215 mi).
2 days after descending node on 25 May 2033 at 05:37 in ♈ Aries. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 7 June 2033 at 22:45 in ♎ Libra.
15 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
10 days since the previous standstill on 16 May 2033 at 20:25 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.668°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.697° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 May 2033 at 17:10 in ♊ Gemini.
In 1 day on 28 May 2033 at 11:36 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.
