Buck Moon after 16 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2051 after 16 days on 23 July 2051 at 16:36.
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1892" and ∠1887".
New lunation 636 / 1589
At 18:56 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 636 of Meeus index or lunation 1589 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 13 minutes. It is 1 hour and 43 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 3 hours and 31 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 38 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠43.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠43.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠70.2°.
Moon after perigee
4 days since point of perigee on 2 July 2051 at 20:59 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 15 July 2051 at 16:49 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 378 752 km(235 346 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 065 km(251 074 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 2 July 2051 at 17:54 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 16 July 2051 at 09:35 in ♎ Libra.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 6 July 2051 at 11:58 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.198° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 13 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.133° at the point of next southern standstill on 20 July 2051 at 20:52 in ♐ Sagittarius.
