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 760 / 1713
The Moon is 1 day young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 760 of Meeus index or 1713 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.3 days
Length of current 760 lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 7 minutes. It is 1 hour and 22 minutes shorter than next lunation 761 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 37 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 32 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠13.9°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠13.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠31.2°. 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°).
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 16 June 2061 at 22:16 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 11 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 29 June 2061 at 12:19 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 366 497 km
Moon is 366 497 km (227 731 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 11 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 739 km (252 115 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after its ascending node on 13 June 2061 at 01:57 in ♈ Aries, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 7 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 25 June 2061 at 18:12 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
5 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 03:42 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠28.260°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-28.248° in its southern standstill point on 2 July 2061 at 03:48 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 14 days
After 14 days on 2 July 2061 at 20:52 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
