Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 10 July 2061 at 10:23
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 17 July 2061 at 01:10

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.
Lunation 760 / 1713
The Moon is 21 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last 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 before perigee
9 days after point of apogee on 29 June 2061 at 12:19 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 5 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 15 July 2061 at 03:23 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 373 202 km
Moon is 373 202 km (231 897 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 5 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 362 013 km (224 944 mi).
Moon before ascending node
13 days after its descending node on 25 June 2061 at 18:12 in ♎ Libra, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 10 July 2061 at 03:50 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
26 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
7 days after previous South standstill on 2 July 2061 at 03:48 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-28.248°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠28.294° in the next northern standstill on 15 July 2061 at 13:04 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 7 days
After 7 days on 17 July 2061 at 01:10 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
