Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
It is Buck Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Buck of July 2028.
Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1803"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1803" and ∠1887".
Lunation 352 / 1305
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 352 of Meeus index or 1305 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 34 minutes and it is 52 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 10 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 59 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠308.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠308.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠330.4°.
Moon before apogee
11 days since point of perigee on 26 June 2028 at 04:14 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 July 2028 at 22:26 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 397 521 km(247 008 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 945 km(251 621 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♑ Capricorn at 09:34 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 14 days until Moon's next descending node later on 21 July 2028 at 16:09 in ♋ Cancer.
2 days since the last southern standstill on 4 July 2028 at 18:46 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.933° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.940° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 July 2028 at 07:49 in ♊ Gemini.
At 09:34 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
