Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 14 July 2100 at 14:43
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 21 July 2100 at 10:12
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 29 July 2100 at 05:09

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1243 / 2196
At 12:06 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1243 of Meeus index or 2196 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.45 days
29 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes is the length of new lunation 1243. It is 1 hour and 7 minutes longer than next lunation 1244 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 49 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 20 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠261°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠261°. 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 apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 1 July 2100 at 09:51 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 16 July 2100 at 14:15 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 389 851 km
Moon is 389 851 km (242 242 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 9 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 368 737 km (229 123 mi).
Moon before descending node
10 days after its ascending node on 27 June 2100 at 05:37 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 11 July 2100 at 12:42 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
10 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day after previous North standstill on 6 July 2100 at 01:14 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠28.198°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-28.246° in the next southern standstill on 19 July 2100 at 03:02 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
