Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is entering ♉ Taurus
Moon is passing first ∠4° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1829" and ∠1907".
Flower Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Flower Moon of May 2093 after 15 days on 11 May 2093 at 02:17.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Leo ♌ on 3 May 2093 at 18:37
- Full Moon in Scorpio ♏ on 11 May 2093 at 02:17
- Last Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 17 May 2093 at 17:47

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 1154 / 2107
At 16:12 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1154 of Meeus index or 2107 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.58 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 55 minutes. It is 1 hour and 2 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 11 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 52 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠109.2°
The true anomaly is ∠109.2°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠142°.
Moon before perigee
9 days after point of perigee on 15 April 2093 at 13:30 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 May 2093 at 06:12 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 391 821 km
The Moon is 391 821 km (243 466 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 751 km (251 501 mi).
Moon after descending node
6 days after descending node on 18 April 2093 at 13:39 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 2 May 2093 at 12:02 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
20 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
8 days since the previous standstill on 17 April 2093 at 04:44 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-21.301°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠21.429° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 May 2093 at 00:13 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
