Full Moon in Sagittarius

Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 99%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.

* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 27 June 2067 at 02:52 UTC.

Moonrise and moonset

The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Moon phase and lunation details

Moon in ♐ Sagittarius

Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♑ Capricorn later.

It is Strawberry Moon

The Full Moon these days is the Strawberry of June 2067.

Spring tide

There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1946"

Lunar disc appears visually 3.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1946" and ∠1887".

Lunation 834 / 1787

The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 834 of Meeus index or 1787 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.61 days

The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 35 minutes and it is 45 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 1 hour and 51 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 12 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit details for

True anomaly ∠132.6°

The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠132.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠159.9°.

Moon before perigee

10 days since point of apogee on 16 June 2067 at 03:04 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 28 June 2067 at 09:11 in ♑ Capricorn.

Distance to Moon 368 328 km

The Moon is 368 328 km (228 868 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 568 km (223 425 mi).

Moon in ascending node

Moon is in ascending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 02:38 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 12 days until Moon's next descending node later on 9 July 2067 at 01:59 in ♊ Gemini.

Moon after southern standstill

1 day since the last southern standstill on 25 June 2067 at 22:32 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.109° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.104° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 July 2067 at 21:14 in ♊ Gemini.

New draconic month

At 02:38 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.

Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy

The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
