Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 17 June 2091 at 02:41
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 24 June 2091 at 08:31
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 1 July 2091 at 01:54

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.
Lunation 1130 / 2083
The Moon is 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1130 of Meeus index or 2083 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.57 days
Length of current 1130 lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 34 minutes. It is 1 hour and 59 minutes longer than next lunation 1131 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 50 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 6 hours and 13 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠214.7°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠214.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠245.7°. 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 after apogee
3 days after point of apogee on 11 June 2091 at 19:05 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 11 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 27 June 2091 at 11:38 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 399 692 km
Moon is 399 692 km (248 357 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 11 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 366 857 km (227 954 mi).
Moon before ascending node
7 days after its descending node on 7 June 2091 at 23:53 in ♒ Aquarius, 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 22 June 2091 at 07:10 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
20 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
12 days after previous South standstill on 3 June 2091 at 09:48 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.930°. Next 2 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.975° in the next northern standstill on 17 June 2091 at 21:16 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 17 June 2091 at 02:41 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
