Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 3 June 2099 at 03:37
- Last Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 10 June 2099 at 21:49
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 18 June 2099 at 16:10

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 1229 / 2182
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1229 of Meeus index or 2182 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.45 days
Length of current 1229 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 54 minutes. It is 2 hours and 3 minutes longer than next lunation 1230 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 50 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 19 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠261.4°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠261.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠294.6°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon after perigee
4 days after point of perigee on 29 May 2099 at 07:58 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 10 June 2099 at 21:17 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 377 977 km
Moon is 377 977 km (234 864 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 8 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 057 km (251 069 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after its descending node on 29 May 2099 at 05:10 in ♎ Libra, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 9 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 11 June 2099 at 21:49 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
17 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
10 days after previous North standstill on 22 May 2099 at 13:50 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠28.471°. Next day the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-28.425° in the next southern standstill on 4 June 2099 at 10:57 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
