Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 7 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2036. It is 11 minutes shorter 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 37 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 32 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠338.2°
The true anomaly is ∠338.2°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠354.1°.
Moon before apogee
11 days after point of apogee on 13 June 2036 at 05:06 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 25 June 2036 at 10:31 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 365 703 km
The Moon is 365 703 km (227 237 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 947 km (223 661 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after descending node on 13 June 2036 at 20:47 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 27 June 2036 at 02:46 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
24 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon at northern standstill
At 13:24 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠19.895°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-19.902° at the point of next standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 7 July 2036 at 21:09.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
