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 is entering ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1966" and ∠1892".
Strawberry Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2087 after 15 days on 16 June 2087 at 06:58.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 1 June 2087 at 01:38
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 8 June 2087 at 02:45
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 16 June 2087 at 06:58
- Last Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 23 June 2087 at 17:33
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 1080 / 2033
At 17:51 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1080 of Meeus index or 2033 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.33 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 48 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2087. It is 4 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 4 hours and 56 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 13 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠3.2°
The true anomaly is ∠3.2°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠19°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 30 May 2087 at 22:29 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 12 June 2087 at 06:07 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 364 679 km
The Moon is 364 679 km (226 601 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 11 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 422 km (251 918 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♊ Gemini at 00:23 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 13 days later on 13 June 2087 at 18:16 in ♏ Scorpio.
Draconic month
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
12 days since the previous standstill on 19 May 2087 at 11:07 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.798°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠20.809° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 June 2087 at 14:09 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
