Moon phase and lunation details
2 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 13 June 2037 at 17:10.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is entering ♌ Leo
Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1941"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1941" and ∠1889".
Strawberry Moon after 11 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2037 after 11 days on 27 June 2037 at 15:20.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 20 June 2037 at 13:45
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 27 June 2037 at 15:20
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 5 July 2037 at 16:00

Neap tide
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.
Lunation 463 / 1416
The Moon is 3 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 463 of Meeus index or 1416 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.39 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 22 minutes. It is 1 hour and 12 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 3 hours and 23 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 47 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠292.3°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠292.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠318.7°.
Moon before apogee
10 days after point of apogee on 6 June 2037 at 01:22 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 18 June 2037 at 16:37 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 369 201 km
The Moon is 369 201 km (229 411 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 923 km (229 238 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 07:41 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 12 days later on 29 June 2037 at 10:01 in ♑ Capricorn.
New draconic month
At 07:41 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 15 June 2037 at 01:37 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠21.359°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-21.369° at the point of next southern standstill on 28 June 2037 at 01:35 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 11 days
In 11 days on 27 June 2037 at 15:20 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.
