Moon phase and lunation details

1 day after Full Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 30 June 2007 at 13:49.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.

Moon in ♑ Capricorn

Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1855"

Lunar disc appears visually 1.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1855" and ∠1887".

Strawberry Moon before 1 day

Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2007 after 28 days on 30 July 2007 at 00:48.

Moderate tide

There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.

Lunation 92 / 1045

The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 92 of Meeus index or 1045 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.37 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 51 minutes. It is 2 hours and 8 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the 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 53 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 16 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠38.7°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠38.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠64.2°.

Moon after apogee

6 days after point of apogee on 24 June 2007 at 14:25 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 July 2007 at 21:38 in ♉ Taurus.

Distance to Moon 386 328 km

The Moon is 386 328 km (240 053 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 8 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 534 km (228 996 mi).

Moon before ascending node

10 days after descending node on 20 June 2007 at 19:32 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 5 July 2007 at 01:39 in ♓ Pisces.

Draconic month

23 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.

Moon after southern standstill

1 day since the previous standstill on 29 June 2007 at 15:41 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.215°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.251° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 July 2007 at 16:38 in ♊ Gemini.

Syzygy in 13 days

In 13 days on 14 July 2007 at 12:04 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
