Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 6 June 2058 at 19:15 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Strawberry of June 2058.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1938" and ∠1891".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 722 of Meeus index or 1675 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 12 minutes and it is 53 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 28 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 35 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠118.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠148.7°.
9 days since point of apogee on 27 May 2058 at 13:11 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 8 June 2058 at 13:26 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 369 866 km (229 824 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 344 km (224 529 mi).
Moon is in descending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 17:09 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 19 June 2058 at 19:09 in ♊ Gemini.
11 days since the last northern standstill on 25 May 2058 at 15:27 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.300° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-25.296° at the point of next southern standstill on 8 June 2058 at 10:49 in ♑ Capricorn.
13 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♊ Gemini the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
