Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 19 May 2082 at 12:58.
Strawberry Moon after 18 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2082 after 18 days on 10 June 2082 at 17:55.
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 ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1895".
Lunation 1018 / 1971
The Moon is 25 days old and navigating from the second to the final 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 at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 04:39 about 12 days since last perigee on 11 May 2082 at 00:30 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 15 days until point of next perigee on 8 June 2082 at 00:19 in ♏ Scorpio.
This apogee Moon is 405 425 km(251 919 mi) away from Earth. It is 17 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 1 284 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
3 days after ascending node on 19 May 2082 at 18:38 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 10 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 3 June 2082 at 02:08 in ♍ Virgo.
8 days since the last southern standstill on 14 May 2082 at 17:09 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.907° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.839° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 May 2082 at 04:33 in ♊ Gemini.
In 4 days on 27 May 2082 at 16:47 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.
