Synodic month length 29.3 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 16 minutes. It is 1 hour and 16 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 5 hours and 28 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 41 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

True anomaly ∠15.9°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠15.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠33.6°.

Moon after apogee

4 days after point of apogee on 18 June 2043 at 23:28 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 4 July 2043 at 16:08 in ♊ Gemini.

Distance to Moon 397 473 km

The Moon is 397 473 km (246 978 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 362 588 km (225 302 mi).

Moon before ascending node

8 days after descending node on 15 June 2043 at 09:52 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 29 June 2043 at 18:46 in ♓ Pisces.

Moon after southern standstill

1 day since the previous standstill on 22 June 2043 at 14:03 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.403°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.429° at the point of next northern standstill on 5 July 2043 at 19:20 in ♊ Gemini.

Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy

The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
