Moon phase and lunation details
6 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 6 days on 19 June 2086 at 04:33.
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 ∠16° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1842"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1842" and ∠1888".
Strawberry Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2086 after 1 day on 27 June 2086 at 00:04.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 27 June 2086 at 00:04
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 3 July 2086 at 20:10
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 10 July 2086 at 22:02
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 18 July 2086 at 21:45
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 1069 / 2022
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.
Synodic month length 29.45 days
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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠62.5°
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°.
Moon after apogee
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.
Distance to Moon 389 192 km
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 in ascending node
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.
New draconic month
At 07:25 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon at southern standstill
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.
Syzygy in 1 day
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.
