Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 15 July 2049 at 02:29
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 21 July 2049 at 18:48
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 29 July 2049 at 20:07

Spring tide
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.
Lunation 612 / 1565
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 612 of Meeus index or 1565 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.64 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 17 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2049. It is 6 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 33 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 30 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠162.9°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠162.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠185.8°.
Moon before apogee
12 days after point of apogee on 2 July 2049 at 01:01 in ♌ Leo. 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 15 July 2049 at 07:18 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 363 903 km
The Moon is 363 903 km (226 119 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 060 km (221 867 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 12 July 2049 at 03:19 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 10 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 24 July 2049 at 21:01 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 12 July 2049 at 19:01 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.045°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠22.002° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 July 2049 at 17:25 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.
