Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.

Moon in ♉ Taurus

Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1769"

There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.

Lunation 809 / 1762

The Moon is 24 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 809 of Meeus index or 1762 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.59 days

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°).

Lunation length longer than mean

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.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠206.9°

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°.

Moon at apogee

Moon is at apogee at 22:35. It is 12 days after previous perigee on 16 June 2065 at 20:01 in ♏ Scorpio. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 16 days, until point of next perigee on 14 July 2065 at 17:50 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Distance to Moon 405 316 km

This apogee Moon is 405 316 km (251 852 mi) away from Earth. It is 92 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 1 393 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.

Moon before descending node

8 days after ascending node on 20 June 2065 at 10:37 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 4 July 2065 at 21:42 in ♋ Cancer.

Draconic month

8 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 before northern standstill

10 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 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.180° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 July 2065 at 23:11 in ♊ Gemini.

Syzygy in 5 days

In 5 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.
