Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 23 June 2083 at 02:52.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♐ Sagittarius
Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1967"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1967" and ∠1887".
Strawberry Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2083 after 1 day on 29 June 2083 at 16:51.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 29 June 2083 at 16:51
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 6 July 2083 at 20:33
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 14 July 2083 at 23:54
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 22 July 2083 at 08:56
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.
Lunation 1032 / 1985
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1032 of Meeus index or 1985 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.6 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 17 minutes. It is 1 hour and 26 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the 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 1 hour and 33 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 30 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠203.8°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠203.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠232°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 06:42. It is 15 days after previous apogee on 12 June 2083 at 22:19 in ♉ Taurus. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 11 days, until point of next apogee on 10 July 2083 at 10:51 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 360 069 km
This perigee Moon is 360 069 km (223 737 mi) away from Earth. It is 2 439 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 10 287 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before ascending node
9 days after descending node on 19 June 2083 at 01:15 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 1 July 2083 at 19:10 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
24 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon at southern standstill
At 15:42 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-26.916°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠26.931° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 12 July 2083 at 11:43.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 29 June 2083 at 16:51 in ♑ Capricorn 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.
