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 in ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1787" and ∠1894".
Strawberry Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2093 after 14 days on 9 June 2093 at 10:09.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 2 June 2093 at 10:39
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 9 June 2093 at 10:09
- Last Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 16 June 2093 at 01:19
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 23 June 2093 at 21:04
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 1155 / 2108
At 06:07 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1155 of Meeus index or 2108 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.62 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 57 minutes. It is 34 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 2 hours and 13 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 50 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠142°
The true anomaly is ∠142°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠167.5°.
Moon before perigee
12 days after point of perigee on 13 May 2093 at 03:53 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 3 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 28 May 2093 at 21:26 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 401 046 km
The Moon is 401 046 km (249 198 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 700 km (252 090 mi).
Moon before ascending node
9 days after descending node on 15 May 2093 at 15:06 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 29 May 2093 at 14:36 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
22 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
10 days since the previous standstill on 14 May 2093 at 12:06 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-21.516°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠21.600° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 May 2093 at 08:03 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.
