Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♋ Cancer
Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1839" and ∠1887".
Buck Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2100 after 13 days on 21 July 2100 at 10:12.
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
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 5 August 2100 at 23:02
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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes. It is 1 hour and 7 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the 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 49 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 20 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠261°
The true anomaly is ∠261°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠294.6°.
Moon after apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 1 July 2100 at 09:51 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 16 July 2100 at 14:15 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 389 851 km
The Moon is 389 851 km (242 242 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 9 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 737 km (229 123 mi).
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 27 June 2100 at 05:37 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 11 July 2100 at 12:42 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
10 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 6 July 2100 at 01:14 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.198°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.246° at the point of next southern standstill on 19 July 2100 at 03:02 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
