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
Length of current 1155 lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 57 minutes. It is 34 minutes shorter than next lunation 1156 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 13 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 50 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠142°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠142°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠167.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after perigee
6 days after point of perigee on 10 June 2093 at 08:55 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 25 June 2093 at 06:06 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 378 016 km
Moon is 378 016 km (234 888 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 8 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 382 km (252 514 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after its descending node on 11 June 2093 at 20:52 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 9 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 25 June 2093 at 19:10 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
17 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
5 days after previous South standstill on 10 June 2093 at 21:56 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-21.625°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠21.648° in the next northern standstill on 24 June 2093 at 15:06 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 7 days
After 7 days on 23 June 2093 at 21:04 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
