Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Moon is passing first ∠1° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1888".

Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 2 July 2097 at 17:05
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 9 July 2097 at 08:58
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 16 July 2097 at 06:10

Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 1205 / 2158
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1205 of Meeus index or 2158 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.28 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 44 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2097. It is 18 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 6 hours shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 9 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠355.1°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠355.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠10°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 09:04. It is 13 days after previous perigee on 10 June 2097 at 09:12 in ♊ Gemini. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next perigee on 8 July 2097 at 18:43 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 406 338 km
This apogee Moon is 406 338 km (252 487 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's farthest apogee of 2097. It is 930 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 371 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 20 June 2097 at 09:05 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 10 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 4 July 2097 at 19:44 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
16 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
13 days since the previous standstill on 11 June 2097 at 04:55 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.467°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-27.434° at the point of next southern standstill on 25 June 2097 at 00:31 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
