Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 30 June 2072 at 10:21.
Strawberry Moon before 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2072 after 28 days on 30 July 2072 at 00:17.
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 ∠1792"
Lunar disc appears visually 5.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1792" and ∠1887".
Lunation 896 / 1849
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating from the middle to the last 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 apogee
12 days since point of perigee on 19 June 2072 at 10:24 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 5 July 2072 at 05:53 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 399 881 km(248 475 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 994 km(251 652 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 21 June 2072 at 16:43 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 5 July 2072 at 13:03 in ♓ Pisces.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 30 June 2072 at 01:20 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.704° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.668° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 July 2072 at 10:48 in ♋ Cancer.
In 14 days on 15 July 2072 at 17:56 in ♋ Cancer 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.
