Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 16 June 2072 at 09:57.
Strawberry Moon after 12 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2072 after 12 days on 30 June 2072 at 10:21.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1936"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1936" and ∠1888".
Lunation 896 / 1849
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 896 of Meeus index or 1849 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 59 minutes and it is 34 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 4 hours and 45 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 24 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠313.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠313.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠333.8°.
Moon before perigee
9 days since point of apogee on 7 June 2072 at 12:42 in ♓ Pisces 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 19 June 2072 at 10:24 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 370 271 km(230 076 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 365 625 km(227 189 mi).
Moon before ascending node
9 days after descending node on 8 June 2072 at 10:43 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 21 June 2072 at 16:43 in ♍ Virgo.
At 00:01 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠18.692°. Over the upcoming 12 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-18.704° at the point of next southern standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 30 June 2072 at 01:20.
In 12 days on 30 June 2072 at 10:21 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
