Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 5 July 2094 at 00:54
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 12 July 2094 at 13:36
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 20 July 2094 at 17:25

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 1168 / 2121
The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1168 of Meeus index or 2121 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.56 days
Length of current 1168 lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 33 minutes. It is 1 hour and 27 minutes shorter than next lunation 1169 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 49 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 6 hours and 14 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠109.9°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠109.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠141.9°. 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 in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 11:51, this is 11 days after last apogee on 18 June 2094 at 13:22 in ♌ Leo. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 15 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 16 July 2094 at 04:45 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 362 474 km
This perigee Moon is 362 474 km (225 231 mi) away from Earth. It is 34 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 7 882 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
2 days after its descending node on 28 June 2094 at 10:31 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 10 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 11 July 2094 at 11:47 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
16 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
1 day after previous South standstill on 28 June 2094 at 17:52 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-23.311°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠23.299° in the next northern standstill on 11 July 2094 at 20:37 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 12 days
After 12 days on 12 July 2094 at 13:36 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
