Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♌ Leo later.
6 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 6 days on 28 April 2082 at 02:02.
Flower Moon after 7 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2082 after 7 days on 12 May 2082 at 09:49.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1895"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1895" and ∠1902".
Lunation 1018 / 1971
The Moon is 6 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1018 of Meeus index or 1971 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 45 minutes and it is 2 hours and 16 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 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 at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠203.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠231.3°.
Moon before perigee
8 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 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 11 May 2082 at 00:30 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 378 156 km(234 975 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 931 km(223 651 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 22 April 2082 at 17:02 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 7 May 2082 at 01:12 in ♍ Virgo.
2 days since the last northern standstill on 1 May 2082 at 23:20 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.970° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.907° at the point of next southern standstill on 14 May 2082 at 17:09 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 7 days on 12 May 2082 at 09:49 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
