Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Strawberry Moon after 21 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2079 after 21 days on 14 June 2079 at 12:39.
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 ∠1863"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1863" and ∠1894".
Lunation 981 / 1934
The Moon is 22 days old and navigating through the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 981 of Meeus index or 1934 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 44 minutes and it is 54 minutes longer than the upcoming 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 at the beginning of this lunation cycle 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
6 days since point of apogee on 17 May 2079 at 16:24 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 30 May 2079 at 23:00 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 384 787 km(239 096 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 272 km(221 999 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after descending node on 13 May 2079 at 20:46 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 28 May 2079 at 04:40 in ♉ Taurus.
5 days since the last southern standstill on 19 May 2079 at 06:26 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.005° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.971° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 June 2079 at 11:25 in ♋ Cancer.
In 6 days on 30 May 2079 at 18:41 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
