Moderate tide
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.
Lunation 722 / 1675
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 722 of Meeus index or 1675 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.59 days
Length of current 722 lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 12 minutes. It is 53 minutes shorter than next lunation 723 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 28 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 35 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠118.2°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠118.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠148.7°. 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 after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 8 June 2058 at 13:26 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 12 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 24 June 2058 at 03:14 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 364 887 km
Moon is 364 887 km (226 730 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 12 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 033 km (252 297 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after its descending node on 6 June 2058 at 17:09 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 19 June 2058 at 19:09 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
18 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days after previous South standstill on 8 June 2058 at 10:49 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-25.296°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠25.284° in the next northern standstill on 21 June 2058 at 22:19 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 9 days
After 9 days on 21 June 2058 at 00:35 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
