Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 15 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 27 June 2067 at 02:52 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Strawberry of June 2067.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1961" and ∠1887".
The Moon is 15 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.
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°).
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.
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°.
11 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.
The Moon is 365 518 km (227 122 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).
1 day after ascending node on 26 June 2067 at 02:38 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 9 July 2067 at 01:59 in ♊ Gemini.
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 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.104° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 July 2067 at 21:14 in ♊ Gemini.
1 day since the beginning of this draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
