Moon phase and lunation details

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.

Moon in ♉ Taurus

Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♊ Gemini later.

Apparent angular diameter

Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1881" and ∠1893".

Strawberry Moon after 14 days

Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2063 after 14 days on 11 June 2063 at 00:43.

At 14:52 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 783 of Meeus index or 1736 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.45 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes. It is 2 hours and 16 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 1 hour and 49 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 20 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠270.1°

The true anomaly is ∠270.1°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠301.9°.

Moon before apogee

7 days after point of apogee on 19 May 2063 at 21:24 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 1 June 2063 at 01:18 in ♌ Leo.

Previous apogeeNext perigee

Distance to Moon 381 154 km

The Moon is 381 154 km (236 838 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 4 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 758 km (228 514 mi).

Moon after ascending node

6 days after ascending node on 21 May 2063 at 05:36 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 3 June 2063 at 11:31 in ♍ Virgo.

Draconic month

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

Moon before northern standstill

12 days since the previous standstill on 15 May 2063 at 05:16 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.173°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠28.118° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 May 2063 at 11:44 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy

The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
