Moon is passing first ∠4° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 1 June 2076 at 17:14.
Strawberry Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2076 after 13 days on 17 June 2076 at 02:38.
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 ∠1791"
Lunar disc appears visually 5.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1791" and ∠1891".
Lunation 945 / 1898
The Moon is 2 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 945 of Meeus index or 1898 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 51 minutes and it is 1 hour and 10 minutes shorter than the upcoming 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 7 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 56 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠114.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠114.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠145.4°.
Moon before apogee
12 days since point of perigee on 22 May 2076 at 07:47 in ♑ Capricorn 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 7 June 2076 at 01:18 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 400 298 km(248 734 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 950 km(251 624 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 2 June 2076 at 20:31 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 13 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 17 June 2076 at 01:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
12 days since the last southern standstill on 21 May 2076 at 17:57 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-24.310° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠24.333° at the point of next northern standstill on 4 June 2076 at 02:42 in ♋ Cancer.
In 13 days on 17 June 2076 at 02:38 in ♐ Sagittarius 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.
