Moon phase and lunation details

4 days after Last Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 9 June 2034 at 19:44.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.

Moon in ♉ Taurus

Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♊ Gemini later.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1971"

Lunar disc appears visually 4.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1889".

Buck Moon after 17 days

Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2034 after 17 days on 1 July 2034 at 17:44.

Upcoming main Moon phases

  • New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 16 June 2034 at 10:26
  • First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 23 June 2034 at 14:35
  • Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 1 July 2034 at 17:44

Neap tide

There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.

Lunation 425 / 1378

The Moon is 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 425 of Meeus index or 1378 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.3 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 13 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2034. It is 36 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 shorter than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 31 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 38 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠9°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠25.4°.

Moon at perigee

Moon is at perigee at 21:42. It is 15 days after previous apogee on 30 May 2034 at 11:23 in ♏ Scorpio. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 12 days, until point of next apogee on 27 June 2034 at 00:19 in ♏ Scorpio.

Previous apogeeNext apogee

Distance to Moon 360 644 km

This perigee Moon is 360 644 km (224 094 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 864 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 9 712 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.

Moon after descending node

3 days after descending node on 10 June 2034 at 13:46 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 23 June 2034 at 06:36 in ♍ Virgo.

Previous nodeNext node

Draconic month

18 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.

Moon before northern standstill

10 days since the previous standstill on 3 June 2034 at 15:58 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.405°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.417° at the point of next northern standstill on 16 June 2034 at 18:29 in ♊ Gemini.

Syzygy in 1 day

In 1 day on 16 June 2034 at 10:26 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.
