Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 4 days on 1 July 2076 at 07:04.
Buck Moon after 10 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2076 after 10 days on 16 July 2076 at 10:12.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1770"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1770" and ∠1887".
Lunation 946 / 1899
The Moon is 4 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 946 of Meeus index or 1899 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 1 minute and it is 37 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 2 hours and 17 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 46 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠145.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠145.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠170.2°.
Moon after apogee
1 day since point of apogee on 4 July 2076 at 16:02 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 17 July 2076 at 05:58 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 404 872 km(251 576 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 186 km(222 566 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 30 June 2076 at 03:27 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 14 July 2076 at 12:03 in ♐ Sagittarius.
4 days since the last northern standstill on 1 July 2076 at 09:39 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠24.319° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-24.329° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 July 2076 at 12:55 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 10 days on 16 July 2076 at 10:12 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.
