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 796 / 1749
The Moon is 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 796 of Meeus index or 1749 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.52 days
Length of current 796 lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 26 minutes. It is 2 hours and 1 minute longer than next lunation 797 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 18 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 51 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠235.2°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠235.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠269.7°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before apogee
10 days after point of perigee on 27 May 2064 at 12:05 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 8 June 2064 at 09:54 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 405 005 km
Moon is 405 005 km (251 658 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next day until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 403 km (251 284 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after its ascending node on 4 June 2064 at 13:10 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 11 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 18 June 2064 at 18:43 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
2 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
7 days after previous South standstill on 31 May 2064 at 10:13 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-27.330°. Next 7 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠27.317° in the next northern standstill on 14 June 2064 at 20:16 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 7 days
After 7 days on 14 June 2064 at 22:20 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
