Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Strawberry Moon after 6 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2099 after 6 days on 3 June 2099 at 03:37.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1972"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1893".
Lunation 1229 / 2182
The Moon is 7 days young and navigating through the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1229 of Meeus index or 2182 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 54 minutes and it is 2 hours and 3 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 50 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 19 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠261.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠261.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠294.6°.
Moon before perigee
13 days since point of apogee on 14 May 2099 at 02:22 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 29 May 2099 at 07:58 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 363 530 km(225 887 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 838 km(229 185 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 15 May 2099 at 18:40 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 29 May 2099 at 05:10 in ♎ Libra.
4 days since the last northern standstill on 22 May 2099 at 13:50 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.471° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.425° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 June 2099 at 10:57 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 6 days on 3 June 2099 at 03:37 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
