Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2093 after 22 days on 8 July 2093 at 17:14.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 23 June 2093 at 21:04
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 1 July 2093 at 23:24
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 8 July 2093 at 17:14

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 1155 / 2108
The Moon is 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is 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°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠142°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠167.5°.
Moon after perigee
6 days after point of perigee on 10 June 2093 at 08:55 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 25 June 2093 at 06:06 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 378 016 km
The Moon is 378 016 km (234 888 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 382 km (252 514 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 11 June 2093 at 20:52 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 25 June 2093 at 19:10 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
17 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 after southern standstill
5 days since the previous standstill on 10 June 2093 at 21:56 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-21.625°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠21.648° at the point of next northern standstill on 24 June 2093 at 15:06 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 7 days
In 7 days on 23 June 2093 at 21:04 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
