Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1962" and ∠1887".
Buck Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2089 after 15 days on 22 July 2089 at 14:50.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 8 July 2089 at 01:47
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 14 July 2089 at 17:11
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 22 July 2089 at 14:50
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 30 July 2089 at 15:55
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 1106 / 2059
At 18:44 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1106 of Meeus index or 2059 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.29 days
29 days, 7 hours and 3 minutes is the length of new lunation 1106. It is 23 minutes longer than next lunation 1107 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 41 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 28 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠331.7°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠331.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠348.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
11 days after point of apogee on 26 June 2089 at 00:52 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 8 July 2089 at 18:12 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 365 431 km
Moon is 365 431 km (227 068 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 357 994 km (222 447 mi).
Moon after descending node
6 days after its descending node on 1 July 2089 at 11:25 in ♈ Aries, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 13 July 2089 at 23:07 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
20 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day after previous North standstill on 6 July 2089 at 18:10 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠18.574°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-18.541° in the next southern standstill on 19 July 2089 at 19:41 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.
