Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 24 April 2064 at 11:17.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♎ Libra
Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1969"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1969" and ∠1905".
Flower Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2064 after 1 day on 1 May 2064 at 02:08.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Scorpio ♏ on 1 May 2064 at 02:08
- Last Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 8 May 2064 at 06:16
- New Moon in Taurus ♉ on 16 May 2064 at 09:55
- First Quarter in Leo ♌ on 23 May 2064 at 18:15
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 795 / 1748
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 795 of Meeus index or 1748 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.62 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 53 minutes. It is 2 hours and 27 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 9 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 54 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠206.1°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠206.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠235.2°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 13:49. It is 15 days after previous apogee on 14 April 2064 at 02:09 in ♓ Pisces. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 12 days, until point of next apogee on 11 May 2064 at 16:10 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 360 386 km
This perigee Moon is 360 386 km (223 933 mi) away from Earth. It is 2 122 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 9 970 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
3 days after descending node on 25 April 2064 at 16:11 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 8 May 2064 at 10:23 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
18 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
8 days since the previous standstill on 21 April 2064 at 08:45 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.520°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.444° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 May 2064 at 00:57 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 1 May 2064 at 02:08 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
