Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 29 June 2083 at 16:51 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠5° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Strawberry of June 2083.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1955" and ∠1887".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1032 of Meeus index or 1985 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 17 minutes and it is 1 hour and 26 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°).
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.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠203.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠232°.
1 day since point of perigee on 28 June 2083 at 06:42 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 10 July 2083 at 10:51 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 366 603 km (227 797 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 424 km (251 919 mi).
10 days after descending node on 19 June 2083 at 01:15 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 1 July 2083 at 19:10 in ♒ Aquarius.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 28 June 2083 at 15:42 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.916° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.931° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 July 2083 at 11:43 in ♊ Gemini.
25 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
