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 562 / 1515
At 03:05 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 562 of Meeus index or 1515 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.31 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 24 minutes. It is 13 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 5 hours and 20 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 49 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠328°
The true anomaly is ∠328°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠345.4°.
Moon before apogee
10 days after point of apogee on 5 June 2045 at 03:25 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 17 June 2045 at 02:09 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 368 477 km
The Moon is 368 477 km (228 961 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 362 268 km (225 103 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 5 June 2045 at 23:31 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 19 June 2045 at 04:27 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon at northern standstill
At 03:12 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠27.696°. Over the next 12 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-27.699° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 28 June 2045 at 04:19.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
