Moon phase and lunation details

5 days after Last Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 4 October 2034 at 18:05.

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 ♍ Virgo

Synodic month length 29.64 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 19 minutes. It is 2 hours and 25 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°).

Distance to Moon 393 858 km

The Moon is 393 858 km (244 732 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 022 km (252 290 mi).

Moon after northern standstill

6 days since the previous standstill on 4 October 2034 at 01:15 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.200°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.265° at the point of next southern standstill on 18 October 2034 at 10:02 in ♑ Capricorn.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Syzygy in 1 day

In 1 day on 12 October 2034 at 07:33 in ♎ Libra 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.
