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.
Lunation 957 / 1910
The Moon is 21 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 957 of Meeus index or 1910 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.43 days
Length of current 957 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 17 minutes. It is 1 hour and 29 minutes shorter than next lunation 958 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 27 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 42 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠50.2°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠50.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠80.3°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before perigee
12 days after point of apogee on 30 May 2077 at 18:38 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 13 June 2077 at 20:17 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 364 150 km
Moon is 364 150 km (226 272 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 369 667 km (229 700 mi).
Moon before ascending node
6 days after its descending node on 5 June 2077 at 23:08 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 18 June 2077 at 21:39 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
20 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
4 days after previous South standstill on 8 June 2077 at 08:58 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-25.830°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠25.810° in the next northern standstill on 21 June 2077 at 07:13 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 8 days
After 8 days on 20 June 2077 at 12:55 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
