Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Buck Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2071 after 14 days on 12 July 2071 at 08:25.
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1967" and ∠1887".
New lunation 884 / 1837
At 18:21 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 884 of Meeus index or lunation 1837 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 36 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2071. It is 44 minutes shorter than the next 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 6 hours and 8 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 minute longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠350.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠350.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠5.3°.
Moon before perigee
12 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 day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 28 June 2071 at 08:00 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is 364 415 km(226 437 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 750 km(222 296 mi).
Moon before ascending node
6 days after descending node on 21 June 2071 at 02:58 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 3 July 2071 at 14:17 in ♍ Virgo.
At 07:57 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠18.410°. Over the upcoming 13 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-18.403° at the point of next southern standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 10 July 2071 at 15:45.
