Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. It is visible to the south in the morning.
Moon is passing first ∠3° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1797" and ∠1888".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2065 after 22 days on 17 July 2065 at 17:45.
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.
The Moon is 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 809 of Meeus index or 1762 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 11 minutes. It is 1 hour and 41 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 27 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 36 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠206.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠235.9°.
8 days after point of perigee on 16 June 2065 at 20:01 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 28 June 2065 at 22:35 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 398 948 km (247 895 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 316 km (251 852 mi).
5 days after ascending node on 20 June 2065 at 10:37 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 4 July 2065 at 21:42 in ♋ Cancer.
5 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
7 days since the previous standstill on 17 June 2065 at 22:40 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.172°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.180° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 July 2065 at 23:11 in ♊ Gemini.
In 8 days on 3 July 2065 at 17:16 in ♋ Cancer 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.
