Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2087 after 14 days on 16 June 2087 at 06:58.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- 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
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 30 June 2087 at 09:31
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 1081 / 2034
At 01:38 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1081 of Meeus index or 2034 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.33 days
29 days, 7 hours and 52 minutes is the length of new lunation 1081. It is 57 minutes shorter than next lunation 1082 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 52 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 17 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠19°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠19°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠37.8°. 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 perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 30 May 2087 at 22:29 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 12 June 2087 at 06:07 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 367 061 km
Moon is 367 061 km (228 081 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 10 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 422 km (251 918 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after its descending node on 31 May 2087 at 00:23 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 13 June 2087 at 18:16 in ♏ Scorpio.
Draconic month
15 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 14:09 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠20.809°. Next 14 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-20.814° in its southern standstill point on 15 June 2087 at 17:46 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
