Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and
Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at
very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is
moderate.

Lunation 103 / 1056

The Moon is 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is
moving from the second to the final part of current
synodic month. This is lunation 103 of Meeus index or
1056 from Brown series.

$ Previous | Current | Next %

Synodic month length 29.29

days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and
4 minutes. It is 8 minutes longer than the next
lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic
months are going to increasing with the true anomaly
getting closer to the value it has at the point of New
Moon at apogee (∠180°).

Lunation length shorter than

mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours
and 40 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month
length. It is 29 minutes longer compared to 21st
century's shortest synodic month length.

True anomaly ∠ 349.4°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly
is ∠349.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month
the true anomaly is going to be ∠4.4°.

Moon before apogee

12 days after point of apogee on 20 May 2008 at
14:27 in Scorpio. 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 3 June 2008 at
13:08 in Gemini.

Distance to Moon 363 723 km

The Moon is 363 723 km (226 007 mi) away from
Earth and getting closer over the next day until the
point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to
be 357 251 km (221 985 mi).

Moon before descending node

6 days after ascending node on 26 May 2008 at
21:45 in Aquarius. The Moon is located north of
the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar
orbit crosses from North to South in descending node
on 8 June 2008 at 09:15 in Leo.

Draconic month
6 days since the beginning of current draconic month
in Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the
beginning to the first part of the cycle.

Moon before northern standstill

11 days since the previous standstill on 22 May 2008
at 04:00 in Sagittarius when the Moon has
reached South declination of ∠-27.542°, the lunar
orbit is extending northward over the next day to face
maximum declination of ∠27.527° at the point of next
northern standstill on 4 June 2008 at 11:38 in
Gemini.

Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 3 June 2008 at 19:23 in Gemini the
Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric
conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
