Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♐ Sagittarius
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♑ Capricorn later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1773"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1773" and ∠1888".
It is Strawberry Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Strawberry of June 2062.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 29 June 2062 at 23:54
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 6 July 2062 at 17:53
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 13 July 2062 at 11:43

Spring tide
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.
Lunation 772 / 1725
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 772 of Meeus index or 1725 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.28 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 41 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2062. It is 7 minutes shorter 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 6 hours and 3 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠343.6°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠343.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠358.8°.
Moon before perigee
13 days after point of perigee on 8 June 2062 at 10:43 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 23 June 2062 at 08:23 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 404 209 km
The Moon is 404 209 km (251 164 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 285 km (252 454 mi).
Moon after descending node
7 days after descending node on 14 June 2062 at 09:08 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 28 June 2062 at 23:25 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
19 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 at southern standstill
At 19:23 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-28.402°. Over the next 14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠28.441° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 5 July 2062 at 17:31.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
