Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 21 June 2045 at 18:28
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 29 June 2045 at 07:16
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 7 July 2045 at 11:31

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
29 days, 7 hours and 24 minutes is the length of new lunation 562. It is 13 minutes longer than next lunation 563 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 20 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 49 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠328°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠328°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠345.4°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
10 days after point of apogee on 5 June 2045 at 03:25 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 17 June 2045 at 02:09 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 368 477 km
Moon is 368 477 km (228 961 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 362 268 km (225 103 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after its ascending node on 5 June 2045 at 23:31 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 19 June 2045 at 04:27 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
9 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 03:12 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠27.696°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-27.699° in its southern standstill point on 28 June 2045 at 04:19 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
