Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 18 April 2034 at 19:26.
Flower Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2034 after 14 days on 3 May 2034 at 12:16.
Moderate tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1973"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1910".
Lunation 424 / 1377
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 424 of Meeus index or 1377 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 47 minutes and it is 34 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 57 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 12 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠353.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠353.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠9°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 04:07 about 13 days since last apogee on 6 April 2034 at 03:44 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next apogee on 3 May 2034 at 06:24 in ♏ Scorpio.
This perigee Moon is 357 338 km(222 040 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 170 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 018 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
2 days after descending node on 17 April 2034 at 02:12 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 10 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 30 April 2034 at 02:20 in ♎ Libra.
9 days since the last southern standstill on 10 April 2034 at 02:35 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.168° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.212° at the point of next northern standstill on 22 April 2034 at 20:25 in ♊ Gemini.
In 14 days on 3 May 2034 at 12:16 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
