Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠5° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1967" and ∠1889".
The Full Moon this days is the Strawberry of June 2049.
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.
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 611 of Meeus index or 1564 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 50 minutes. It is 27 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 6 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 57 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠136.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠162.9°.
Moon is at perigee at 22:40. It is 12 days after previous apogee on 4 June 2049 at 14:39 in ♋ Cancer. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 15 days, until point of next apogee on 2 July 2049 at 01:01 in ♌ Leo.
This perigee Moon is 359 142 km (223 160 mi) away from Earth. It is 3 366 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 11 214 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
1 day after ascending node on 14 June 2049 at 17:59 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 27 June 2049 at 17:38 in ♊ Gemini.
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
1 day since the previous standstill on 15 June 2049 at 07:58 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.089°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠22.088° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 June 2049 at 11:03 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
