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.
New lunation 93 / 1046
At 12:04 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 93 of Meeus index or 1046 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.46 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 59 minutes. It is 2 hours and 43 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 1 hour and 45 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 24 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠64.2°
The true anomaly is ∠64.2°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠97.3°.
Moon after perigee
4 days after point of perigee on 9 July 2007 at 21:38 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 22 July 2007 at 08:43 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 380 216 km
The Moon is 380 216 km (236 255 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 152 km (251 128 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 5 July 2007 at 01:39 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 18 July 2007 at 00:18 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 12 July 2007 at 16:38 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.251°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.300° at the point of next southern standstill on 26 July 2007 at 23:22 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
