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 ♊ Gemini
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♋ Cancer later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1936" and ∠1890".
Strawberry Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2078 after 14 days on 25 June 2078 at 10:22.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 17 June 2078 at 07:08
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 25 June 2078 at 10:22
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 2 July 2078 at 16:25
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 9 July 2078 at 10:08
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 970 / 1923
At 01:49 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 970 of Meeus index or 1923 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.35 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 19 minutes. It is 1 hour and 24 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 25 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 44 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠29°
The true anomaly is ∠29°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠50.9°.
Moon after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 8 June 2078 at 07:36 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 20 June 2078 at 07:41 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 370 291 km
The Moon is 370 291 km (230 088 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 887 km (251 585 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 8 June 2078 at 00:37 in ♉ Taurus. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 21 June 2078 at 16:55 in ♏ Scorpio.
Draconic month
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
12 days since the previous standstill on 29 May 2078 at 11:05 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.084°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠27.059° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 June 2078 at 07:53 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.
