Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is entering ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1772" and ∠1892".
Strawberry Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2057 after 15 days on 17 June 2057 at 02:18.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 2 June 2057 at 08:11
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 10 June 2057 at 09:30
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 17 June 2057 at 02:18
- Last Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 23 June 2057 at 21:08
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 709 / 1662
At 16:32 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 709 of Meeus index or 1662 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.65 days
29 days, 15 hours and 39 minutes is the length of new lunation 709. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2057. It is 3 minutes longer than next lunation 710 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 55 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 8 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠148.6°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠148.6°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠173.3°. 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°).
Moon before apogee
12 days after point of perigee on 19 May 2057 at 12:10 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 3 June 2057 at 02:13 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 404 450 km
Moon is 404 450 km (251 314 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next day until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 459 km (252 562 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after its descending node on 21 May 2057 at 03:05 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 2 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 4 June 2057 at 02:51 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
24 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
10 days after previous South standstill on 21 May 2057 at 16:36 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-23.658°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠23.700° in the next northern standstill on 4 June 2057 at 20:49 in ♋ Cancer.
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.
