Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.
4 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 19 April 2082 at 21:46.
Flower Moon after 17 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2082 after 17 days on 12 May 2082 at 09:49.
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 ∠1772"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1772" and ∠1907".
Lunation 1017 / 1970
The Moon is 26 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1017 of Meeus index or 1970 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 57 minutes and it is 2 hours and 12 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 13 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 50 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠179.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠179.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠203.1°.
Moon before apogee
11 days since point of perigee on 12 April 2082 at 15:53 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 25 April 2082 at 15:39 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 404 538 km(251 368 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 316 km(252 473 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 22 April 2082 at 17:02 in ♒ Aquarius 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 7 May 2082 at 01:12 in ♍ Virgo.
7 days since the last southern standstill on 17 April 2082 at 07:41 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.081° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.970° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 May 2082 at 23:20 in ♊ Gemini.
In 3 days on 28 April 2082 at 02:02 in ♉ Taurus 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.
