Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Buck Moon after 20 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2071 after 20 days on 12 July 2071 at 08:25.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1846"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1846" and ∠1888".
Lunation 883 / 1836
The Moon is 22 days old and navigating through the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 883 of Meeus index or 1836 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 4 minutes and it is 28 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit 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 5 hours and 40 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 29 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠334°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠334° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠350.4°.
Moon after apogee
6 days since point of apogee on 15 June 2071 at 11:49 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 28 June 2071 at 08:00 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is 388 351 km(241 310 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 750 km(222 296 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♈ Aries at 02:58 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 12 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 3 July 2071 at 14:17 in ♍ Virgo.
8 days since the last southern standstill on 13 June 2071 at 08:15 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.428° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.410° at the point of next northern standstill on 27 June 2071 at 07:57 in ♊ Gemini.
In 6 days on 27 June 2071 at 18:21 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
