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
Length of current 871 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 next lunation 872 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 54 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 15 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠5.3°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠5.3°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠21.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after apogee
1 day after point of apogee on 21 June 2070 at 14:15 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 13 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 6 July 2070 at 18:57 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 404 223 km
Moon is 404 223 km (251 173 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 13 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 359 714 km (223 516 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after its ascending node on 17 June 2070 at 21:35 in ♎ Libra, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 2 July 2070 at 07:45 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
5 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon in southern standstill
At 00:15 on this date the Moon is meeting its South standstill point, when it will reach southern declination of ∠-18.860°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite northward direction to face North declination of ∠18.816° in its northern standstill point on 6 July 2070 at 14:51 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
