Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1797" and ∠1888".
Buck Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2083 after 14 days on 29 July 2083 at 01:00.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 22 July 2083 at 08:56
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 29 July 2083 at 01:00
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 5 August 2083 at 12:38
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 13 August 2083 at 12:45
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.
New lunation 1033 / 1986
At 23:54 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1033 of Meeus index or 1986 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.54 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 51 minutes. It is 1 hour and 29 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 7 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 56 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠232°
The true anomaly is ∠232°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠266.6°.
Moon after apogee
4 days after point of apogee on 10 July 2083 at 10:51 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 26 July 2083 at 06:24 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 398 934 km
The Moon is 398 934 km (247 886 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 364 756 km (226 649 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 1 July 2083 at 19:10 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 16 July 2083 at 06:07 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 12 July 2083 at 11:43 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.931°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.954° at the point of next southern standstill on 26 July 2083 at 00:18 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
