Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
It is Buck Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Buck of July 2066.
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 ∠1968"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1968" and ∠1887".
Lunation 822 / 1775
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 822 of Meeus index or 1775 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 19 minutes and it is 1 hour and 3 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 34 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 28 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠183.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠183.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠207°.
Moon after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 6 July 2066 at 20:02 in ♐ Sagittarius the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 19 July 2066 at 16:13 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 364 151 km(226 273 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 051 km(252 308 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 6 July 2066 at 22:56 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 13 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 20 July 2066 at 16:05 in ♋ Cancer.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 5 July 2066 at 15:36 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-24.732° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠24.725° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 July 2066 at 23:31 in ♊ Gemini.
