Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 99%. The lunar cycle is 15 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 27 June 2037 at 15:20 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Strawberry of June 2037.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1821" and ∠1887".
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 463 of Meeus index or 1416 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 22 minutes and it is 1 hour and 12 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
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.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠292.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠318.7°.
9 days since point of perigee on 18 June 2037 at 16:37 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 3 July 2037 at 19:50 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 393 521 km (244 523 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 478 km (251 331 mi).
12 days after ascending node on 16 June 2037 at 07:41 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 29 June 2037 at 10:01 in ♑ Capricorn.
At 01:35 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-21.369°. Over the upcoming 13 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt northward to face maximum declination of ∠21.362° at the point of next northern standstill in ♋ Cancer on 12 July 2037 at 10:57.
12 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♋ Cancer the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
