Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Flower Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2082 after 13 days on 12 May 2082 at 09:49.
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 ∠1781" and ∠1905".
New lunation 1018 / 1971
At 02:02 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1018 of Meeus index or lunation 1971 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 45 minutes. It is 2 hours and 16 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 1 minute longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 2 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠203.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠203.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠231.3°.
Moon after apogee
2 days since point of apogee on 25 April 2082 at 15:39 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 11 May 2082 at 00:30 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 402 451 km(250 071 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 931 km(223 651 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 22 April 2082 at 17:02 in ♒ Aquarius 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 May 2082 at 01:12 in ♍ Virgo.
11 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 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.970° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 May 2082 at 23:20 in ♊ Gemini.
