Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♐ Sagittarius
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♑ Capricorn later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1888".
It is Strawberry Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Strawberry of June 2035.
Upcoming main Moon phases

Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 438 / 1391
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 438 of Meeus index or 1391 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.28 days
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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠354.2°
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°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 12:30. It is 14 days after previous perigee on 6 June 2035 at 11:36 in ♊ Gemini. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next perigee on 4 July 2035 at 21:00 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 406 401 km
This apogee Moon is 406 401 km (252 526 mi) away from Earth. It is 993 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 308 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
8 days after ascending node on 11 June 2035 at 20:42 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 26 June 2035 at 11:14 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
8 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
13 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 day to face maximum declination of ∠-18.862° at the point of next southern standstill on 21 June 2035 at 08:16 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
