Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon in ♉ Taurus
Moon is passing about ∠25° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1942"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1942" and ∠1887".

Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2095 after 18 days on 17 July 2095 at 08:31.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 1 July 2095 at 19:54
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 9 July 2095 at 16:15
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 17 July 2095 at 08:31
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 24 July 2095 at 02:17
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Lunation 1180 / 2133
The Moon is 26 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1180 of Meeus index or 2133 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.41 days
Length of current 1180 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 56 minutes. It is 1 hour and 38 minutes shorter than next lunation 1181 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 48 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 21 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠47.3°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠47.3°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠76.3°. 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
2 days after point of perigee on 25 June 2095 at 17:27 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 9 July 2095 at 01:10 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 369 143 km
Moon is 369 143 km (229 375 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 10 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 250 km (251 189 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after its descending node on 17 June 2095 at 07:30 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 30 June 2095 at 06:21 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
25 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
9 days after previous South standstill on 18 June 2095 at 23:27 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-24.916°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠24.901° in the next northern standstill on 1 July 2095 at 21:09 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 3 days
After 3 days on 1 July 2095 at 19:54 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
