Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.
6 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 6 days on 1 July 2053 at 02:01.
Buck Moon before 6 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2053 after 23 days on 30 July 2053 at 17:06.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1845"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1845" and ∠1887".
Lunation 661 / 1614
The Moon is 20 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 661 of Meeus index or 1614 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 35 minutes and it is 40 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2053. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 6 hours and 9 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length and it is the shortest synodic month length of 21st century.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠352.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠352.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠7.2°.
Moon after apogee
6 days since point of apogee on 1 July 2053 at 02:40 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 15 July 2053 at 07:11 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is 388 443 km(241 367 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 527 km(222 157 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 6 July 2053 at 19:46 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 19 July 2053 at 09:41 in ♍ Virgo.
6 days since the last southern standstill on 30 June 2053 at 12:07 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.513° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.467° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 July 2053 at 09:16 in ♋ Cancer.
In 8 days on 15 July 2053 at 17:26 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
