Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. It is visible to the south in the morning.
Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1910" and ∠1888".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2052 after 22 days on 12 July 2052 at 00:23.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 21 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 648 of Meeus index or 1601 from Brown series.
Length of current 648 lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 1 minute. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2052. It is 41 minutes shorter than next lunation 649 length.
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 44 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 25 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠7.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠23.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
9 days after point of apogee on 10 June 2052 at 00:46 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 5 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 25 June 2052 at 08:22 in ♊ Gemini.
Moon is 375 307 km (233 205 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 5 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 360 167 km (223 797 mi).
12 days after its ascending node on 6 June 2052 at 13:15 in ♎ Libra, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 20 June 2052 at 22:46 in ♈ Aries.
12 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
6 days after previous South standstill on 12 June 2052 at 20:05 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.514°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.498° in the next northern standstill on 26 June 2052 at 04:20 in ♊ Gemini.
After 7 days on 26 June 2052 at 17:50 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
