Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 1 April 2064 at 17:40 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Pink of April 2064.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.7% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1919".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 794 of Meeus index or 1747 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 17 minutes and it is 2 hours and 24 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 33 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 30 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠181.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠206.1°.
Moon is at perigee at 05:29 about 14 days since last apogee on 17 March 2064 at 21:10 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next apogee on 14 April 2064 at 02:09 in ♓ Pisces.
This perigee Moon is 357 235 km (221 976 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 273 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 121 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
3 days after descending node on 29 March 2064 at 11:52 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 11 April 2064 at 08:46 in ♒ Aquarius.
7 days since the last northern standstill on 25 March 2064 at 03:21 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.727° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.645° at the point of next southern standstill on 6 April 2064 at 15:48 in ♐ Sagittarius.
17 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
