Moon phase and lunation

details

6 days after Last Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before
6 days on 28 June 2005 at 18:23.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in
the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to
the east.

Moon is entering Cancer

Moon is passing first ∠2° of Cancer tropical zodiac
sector.

Apparent angular diameter

∠ 1786"
Lunar disc appears visually 5.5% narrower than solar
disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are
∠1786" and ∠1887".

Buck Moon after 15 days

Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2005 after
15 days on 21 July 2005 at 11:00.

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 67 / 1020
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is
moving from the second to the final part of current
synodic month. This is lunation 67 of Meeus index or
1020 from Brown series.

 Previous | Current | Next 

Synodic month length 29.59

days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and
7 minutes. It is 55 minutes shorter 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 longer than

mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and
23 minutes longer than the mean synodic month
length. It is 5 hours and 40 minutes shorter compared
to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on 5

July 2005 Tuesday
12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠ 131.2°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly
is ∠131.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month
the true anomaly is going to be ∠158.8°.

Moon before perigee

12 days after point of perigee on 23 June 2005 at
11:49 in Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting
widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth.
It will keep this direction over the next 3 days, until the
Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 July 2005
at 17:39 in Leo.

 Previous perigee | Next apogee 

Distance to Moon 401 389 km

The Moon is 401 389 km (249 412 mi) away from
Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the
point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to
be 406 363 km (252 502 mi).

Moon after ascending node

5 days after ascending node on 29 June 2005 at
16:29 in Aries. The Moon is located north of the
ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit
crosses from North to South in descending node on
14 July 2005 at 06:35 in Libra.

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

Moon at northern standstill

At 13:08 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to
reach North declination of ∠28.208°. Over the next
14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward
to face maximum declination of ∠-28.265° at the point
of next standstill in Sagittarius on 19 July 2005 at
17:52.

Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 6 July 2005 at 12:03 in Cancer 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.
