Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♋ Cancer later.
Buck Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2079 after 15 days on 14 July 2079 at 03:24.
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 ∠1971" and ∠1887".
New lunation 982 / 1935
At 18:41 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 982 of Meeus index or lunation 1935 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 50 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2079. It is 12 minutes shorter than the next 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 54 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 15 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠356.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠356.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠12°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 08:30 about 14 days since last apogee on 13 June 2079 at 18:54 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next apogee on 11 July 2079 at 01:15 in ♐ Sagittarius.
This perigee Moon is 358 090 km(222 507 mi) away from Earth. It is 4 418 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 12 266 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
4 days after ascending node on 24 June 2079 at 10:51 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 7 July 2079 at 02:33 in ♎ Libra.
At 21:27 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠27.935°. Over the upcoming 14 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-27.936° at the point of next southern standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 12 July 2079 at 17:02.
