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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 26 minutes. It is 2 hours and 1 minute 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 18 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 51 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠235.2°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠235.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠269.7°.
Moon before perigee
10 days after point of perigee on 27 May 2064 at 12:05 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 June 2064 at 09:54 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 405 005 km
The Moon is 405 005 km (251 658 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 403 km (251 284 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 4 June 2064 at 13:10 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 18 June 2064 at 18:43 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on 31 May 2064 at 10:13 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.330°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.317° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 June 2064 at 20:16 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 7 days
In 7 days on 14 June 2064 at 22:20 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
