Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. It is visible to the south in the morning.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1847"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1847" and ∠1893".
Strawberry Moon after 21 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2035 after 21 days on 20 June 2035 at 19:37.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 6 June 2035 at 03:21
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 12 June 2035 at 19:50
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 20 June 2035 at 19:37
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 28 June 2035 at 18:43
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.
Lunation 437 / 1390
The Moon is 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 437 of Meeus index or 1390 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.3 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 17 minutes. It is 38 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 27 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 42 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠338.4°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠338.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠354.2°.
Moon after apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 24 May 2035 at 09:19 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 6 June 2035 at 11:36 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 388 110 km
The Moon is 388 110 km (241 160 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 357 km (222 051 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♓ Pisces at 10:00 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 12 days later on 11 June 2035 at 20:42 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
5 days since the previous standstill on 25 May 2035 at 00:53 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.782°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.820° at the point of next northern standstill on 7 June 2035 at 10:40 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 6 days
In 6 days on 6 June 2035 at 03:21 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.
