Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 24 May 2089 at 10:18.
Flower Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2089 after 27 days on 23 June 2089 at 00:07.
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 ∠1783"
Lunar disc appears visually 6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1783" and ∠1894".
Lunation 1105 / 2058
The Moon is 16 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1105 of Meeus index or 2058 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 41 minutes and it is 1 hour and 38 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 4 hours and 3 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 6 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠310.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠310.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠331.7°.
Moon before apogee
12 days since point of perigee on 13 May 2089 at 16:16 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 29 May 2089 at 11:27 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 402 005 km(249 794 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 001 km(251 656 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 20 May 2089 at 20:14 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 4 June 2089 at 08:00 in ♈ Aries.
At 04:25 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-18.583°. Over the upcoming 13 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt northward to face maximum declination of ∠18.600° at the point of next northern standstill in ♊ Gemini on 9 June 2089 at 06:40.
In 13 days on 8 June 2089 at 18:44 in ♊ Gemini 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.
