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 1167 / 2120
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1167 of Meeus index or 2120 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.5 days
Length of current 1167 lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 54 minutes. It is 1 hour and 39 minutes shorter than next lunation 1168 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 50 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 19 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠74.7°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠74.7°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠109.9°. 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 before apogee
8 days after point of perigee on 2 June 2094 at 22:20 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 18 June 2094 at 13:22 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 385 860 km
Moon is 385 860 km (239 762 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 7 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 846 km (251 560 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after its descending node on 1 June 2094 at 01:35 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 2 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 14 June 2094 at 04:44 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
24 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
10 days after previous South standstill on 1 June 2094 at 08:45 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-23.296°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠23.310° in the next northern standstill on 14 June 2094 at 13:39 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 13 June 2094 at 00:03 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
