Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 1 day on 5 June 2090 at 05:45.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing first ∠3° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1967" and ∠1891".
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2090 after 5 days on 12 June 2090 at 05:18.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 9 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1118 of Meeus index or 2071 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 42 minutes. It is 1 hour and 34 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 2 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 7 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠280.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠310°.
1 day after point of perigee on 4 June 2090 at 21:08 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 19 June 2090 at 00:40 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 364 445 km (226 456 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 160 km (251 133 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♍ Virgo at 01:10 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 19 June 2090 at 18:49 in ♓ Pisces.
At 01:10 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
6 days since the previous standstill on 30 May 2090 at 23:17 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.414°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.449° at the point of next southern standstill on 12 June 2090 at 22:32 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 5 days on 12 June 2090 at 05:18 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
