Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 6 days on 19 June 2086 at 04:33.
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 is passing about ∠16° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1842" and ∠1888".
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2086 after 1 day on 27 June 2086 at 00:04.
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.
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 1069 of Meeus index or 2022 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 50 minutes. It is 1 hour and 46 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 54 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 15 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠62.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠95.5°.
6 days after point of apogee on 19 June 2086 at 09:56 in ♎ Libra. 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 2 July 2086 at 04:43 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 389 192 km (241 833 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 036 km (229 308 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 07:25 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 12 days later on 8 July 2086 at 05:01 in ♊ Gemini.
At 07:25 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
At 15:51 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-22.460°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠22.447° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 8 July 2086 at 14:01.
In 1 day on 27 June 2086 at 00:04 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.
