Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2065 after 18 days on 20 April 2065 at 18:36.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aries ♈ on 5 April 2065 at 19:01
- First Quarter in Cancer ♋ on 13 April 2065 at 22:38
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 20 April 2065 at 18:36

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 806 / 1759
The Moon is 26 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 806 of Meeus index or 1759 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.7 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 46 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2065. It is 17 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 2 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 1 minute shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠129.8°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠129.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠159.2°.
Moon before perigee
9 days after point of perigee on 23 March 2065 at 16:36 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 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 April 2065 at 00:30 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 393 565 km
The Moon is 393 565 km (244 550 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 389 km (252 518 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 30 March 2065 at 22:27 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 14 April 2065 at 13:32 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
5 days since the previous standstill on 27 March 2065 at 18:51 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.548°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.411° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 April 2065 at 06:32 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 3 days
In 3 days on 5 April 2065 at 19:01 in ♈ Aries 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.
