Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♒ Aquarius later.
6 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 6 days on 24 April 2089 at 21:22.
Pink Moon before 6 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2089 after 22 days on 24 May 2089 at 10:18.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1904".
Lunation 1104 / 2057
The Moon is 21 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1104 of Meeus index or 2057 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 18 minutes and it is 2 hours and 37 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 26 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 43 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠280.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠280.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠310.1°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 17:52 about 14 days since last perigee on 17 April 2089 at 16:01 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next perigee on 13 May 2089 at 16:16 in ♋ Cancer.
This apogee Moon is 404 330 km(251 239 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 078 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 2 379 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 23 April 2089 at 14:43 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 8 May 2089 at 01:13 in ♈ Aries.
2 days since the last southern standstill on 28 April 2089 at 19:54 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.489° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.534° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 May 2089 at 20:53 in ♊ Gemini.
In 8 days on 10 May 2089 at 10:03 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
