Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1839" and ∠1887".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2100 after 13 days on 21 July 2100 at 10:12.
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.
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.
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°).
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.
The true anomaly is ∠261°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠294.6°.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
