Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Flower Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2079 after 14 days on 15 May 2079 at 20:58.
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.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1960" and ∠1904".
New lunation 981 / 1934
At 10:57 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 981 of Meeus index or lunation 1934 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 44 minutes. It is 54 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 9 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠341.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠341.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠356.9°.
Moon before perigee
11 days since point of apogee on 20 April 2079 at 06:49 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 2 May 2079 at 13:49 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 365 766 km(227 276 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 262 km(223 235 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 30 April 2079 at 18:47 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 13 May 2079 at 20:46 in ♎ Libra.
9 days since the last southern standstill on 22 April 2079 at 00:03 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.062° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.041° at the point of next northern standstill on 5 May 2079 at 02:09 in ♋ Cancer.
