The figures
At 18:41 UTC on Saturday, June 15, 2030 the Moon reaches 24°43' Sagittarius with the Sun opposite at 24°43' Gemini. The distance is 358,780 km, 25,620 km closer than the 384,400 km average — near enough to the mean that the apparent size is unremarkable. The degree, 24°43' Sagittarius, places it in the third decan of Sagittarius, on the axis that runs across to Gemini. This one is also a partial lunar eclipse, so the Moon is within range of a node at 24°43' Sagittarius rather than merely opposite the Sun. It is the 12th of the 25 lunations dated for 2030, and the cycle it belongs to is set out in what a lunation is.
