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 771 / 1724

The Moon is 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 771 of Meeus index or 1724 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.33 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 49 minutes. It is 1 hour and 8 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).

Lunation length shorter than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 55 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 14 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠325.7°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠325.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠343.6°.

Moon after apogee

4 days after point of apogee on 27 May 2062 at 00:01 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 8 June 2062 at 10:43 in ♋ Cancer.

Distance to Moon 394 848 km

The Moon is 394 848 km (245 347 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 773 km (222 931 mi).

Moon before ascending node

13 days after descending node on 18 May 2062 at 08:14 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 1 June 2062 at 21:30 in ♓ Pisces.

Draconic month

25 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.

Moon after southern standstill

5 days since the previous standstill on 25 May 2062 at 13:58 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.459°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.432° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 June 2062 at 07:41 in ♊ Gemini.

Syzygy in 6 days

In 6 days on 7 June 2062 at 11:12 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
