Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♉ Taurus
Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1793" and ∠1898".
Flower Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2075 after 15 days on 30 May 2075 at 02:38.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 23 May 2075 at 03:57
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 30 May 2075 at 02:38
- Last Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 5 June 2075 at 18:00

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.
New lunation 932 / 1885
At 23:22 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 932 of Meeus index or 1885 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.64 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 17 minutes. It is 15 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 33 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 30 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠145.4°
The true anomaly is ∠145.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠170.5°.
Moon before perigee
11 days after point of perigee on 2 May 2075 at 16:21 in ♐ Sagittarius. 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 18 May 2075 at 08:43 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 399 682 km
The Moon is 399 682 km (248 351 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 811 km (252 159 mi).
Moon before ascending node
9 days after descending node on 5 May 2075 at 05:59 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 19 May 2075 at 06:26 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
22 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
9 days since the previous standstill on 4 May 2075 at 22:18 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.503°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠22.600° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 May 2075 at 23:38 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
