Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1824" and ∠1887".
Buck Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2065 after 13 days on 17 July 2065 at 17:45.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 11 July 2065 at 01:16
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 17 July 2065 at 17:45
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 25 July 2065 at 06:22

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 810 / 1763
At 17:15 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 810 of Meeus index or 1763 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.52 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 30 minutes. It is 1 hour and 37 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 14 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 55 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠235.9°
The true anomaly is ∠235.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠270.8°.
Moon after apogee
5 days after point of apogee on 28 June 2065 at 22:35 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 14 July 2065 at 17:50 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 393 059 km
The Moon is 393 059 km (244 236 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 365 373 km (227 032 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♋ Cancer at 21:42 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 13 days later on 17 July 2065 at 20:19 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 1 July 2065 at 23:11 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.180°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.199° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 July 2065 at 07:31 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
