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 ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1904" and ∠1893".
Strawberry Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2063 after 13 days on 11 June 2063 at 00:43.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 3 June 2063 at 20:28
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 11 June 2063 at 00:43
- Last Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 19 June 2063 at 02:43
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 26 June 2063 at 10:25
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 784 / 1737
At 01:47 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 784 of Meeus index or 1737 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.36 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 39 minutes. It is 1 hour and 9 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 6 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 4 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠301.9°
The true anomaly is ∠301.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠325.5°.
Moon before apogee
8 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 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 1 June 2063 at 01:18 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 376 413 km
The Moon is 376 413 km (233 892 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 3 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 758 km (228 514 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 21 May 2063 at 05:36 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 3 June 2063 at 11:31 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
7 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
13 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.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
