Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 7 days on 22 May 2058 at 10:23.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1778" and ∠1893".
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2058 after 8 days on 6 June 2058 at 19:15.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 6 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 722 of Meeus index or 1675 from Brown series.
Length of current 722 lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 12 minutes. It is 53 minutes shorter than next lunation 723 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 28 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 35 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠118.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠148.7°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
1 day after point of apogee on 27 May 2058 at 13:11 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 8 June 2058 at 13:26 in ♑ Capricorn.
Moon is 403 111 km (250 482 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 10 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 361 344 km (224 529 mi).
5 days after its ascending node on 23 May 2058 at 12:18 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 6 June 2058 at 17:09 in ♐ Sagittarius.
5 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
3 days after previous North standstill on 25 May 2058 at 15:27 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠25.300°. Next 9 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-25.296° in the next southern standstill on 8 June 2058 at 10:49 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 8 days on 6 June 2058 at 19:15 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
