Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 1 June 2091 at 17:31 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Strawberry of June 2091.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.7% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1943" and ∠1892".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1130 of Meeus index or 2083 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 34 minutes and it is 1 hour and 59 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 50 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 13 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠214.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠245.7°.
1 day since point of perigee on 30 May 2091 at 19:30 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 June 2091 at 19:05 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 368 863 km (229 201 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 966 km (251 634 mi).
6 days after ascending node on 26 May 2091 at 06:27 in ♍ Virgo 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 7 June 2091 at 23:53 in ♒ Aquarius.
10 days since the last northern standstill on 21 May 2091 at 13:53 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.883° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-18.930° at the point of next southern standstill on 3 June 2091 at 09:48 in ♑ Capricorn.
6 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♍ Virgo the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
