Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1773"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1773" and ∠1888".

Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 1 July 2070 at 10:33
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 8 July 2070 at 01:14
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 15 July 2070 at 03:26
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 23 July 2070 at 07:02
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.
Lunation 871 / 1824
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 871 of Meeus index or 1824 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.28 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 50 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2070. It is 47 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 54 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 15 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠5.3°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠5.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠21.1°.
Moon after apogee
1 day after point of apogee on 21 June 2070 at 14:15 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 13 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 6 July 2070 at 18:57 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 404 223 km
The Moon is 404 223 km (251 173 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 13 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 714 km (223 516 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 17 June 2070 at 21:35 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 2 July 2070 at 07:45 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
5 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon at southern standstill
At 00:15 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-18.860°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠18.816° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 6 July 2070 at 14:51.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
