Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 4 days on 6 June 2035 at 03:21.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1931" and ∠1890".
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2035 after 10 days on 20 June 2035 at 19:37.
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.
The Moon is 5 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 438 of Meeus index or 1391 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 39 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2035. It is 33 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 6 hours and 5 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠354.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠9.1°.
4 days after point of perigee on 6 June 2035 at 11:36 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 20 June 2035 at 12:30 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 371 222 km (230 667 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 401 km (252 526 mi).
11 days after descending node on 30 May 2035 at 10:00 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 11 June 2035 at 20:42 in ♍ Virgo.
25 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
3 days since the previous standstill on 7 June 2035 at 10:40 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.820°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.862° at the point of next southern standstill on 21 June 2035 at 08:16 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 10 days on 20 June 2035 at 19:37 in ♐ Sagittarius 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.
