Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1960" and ∠1888".
Buck Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2036 after 13 days on 8 July 2036 at 11:19.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 30 June 2036 at 18:13
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 8 July 2036 at 11:19
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 16 July 2036 at 14:39
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 23 July 2036 at 10:17
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 451 / 1404
At 03:09 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 451 of Meeus index or 1404 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.3 days
29 days, 7 hours and 7 minutes is the length of new lunation 451. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2036. It is 11 minutes shorter than next lunation 452 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 37 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 32 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠338.2°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠338.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠354.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
11 days after point of apogee on 13 June 2036 at 05:06 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 25 June 2036 at 10:31 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 365 703 km
Moon is 365 703 km (227 237 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 359 947 km (223 661 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after its descending node on 13 June 2036 at 20:47 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 2 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 27 June 2036 at 02:46 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
24 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 13:24 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠19.895°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-19.902° in its southern standstill point on 7 July 2036 at 21:09 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
