Moon phase and lunation details
6 days after First Quarter

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

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
Length of current 1069 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 50 minutes. It is 1 hour and 46 minutes shorter than next lunation 1070 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 54 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 15 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠62.5°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠62.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠95.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 19 June 2086 at 09:56 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 6 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 2 July 2086 at 04:43 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 389 192 km
Moon is 389 192 km (241 833 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 6 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 369 036 km (229 308 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 07:25 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 12 days to meet descending node on 8 July 2086 at 05:01 in ♊ Gemini.
New draconic month
At 07:25 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
Moon in southern standstill
At 15:51 on this date the Moon is meeting its South standstill point, when it will reach southern declination of ∠-22.460°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite northward direction to face North declination of ∠22.447° in its northern standstill point on 8 July 2086 at 14:01 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 27 June 2086 at 00:04 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
