Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1924"

Lunar disc appears visually 1.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1924" and ∠1900".

It is Sturgeon Moon

The Full Moon this days is the Sturgeon of August 2007.

Upcoming main Moon phases

Synodic month length 29.57 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 42 minutes. It is 2 hours and 34 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 longer than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 58 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 5 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

True anomaly ∠97.3°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠97.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠131.4°.

Moon before apogee

9 days after point of apogee on 19 August 2007 at 03:28 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 31 August 2007 at 00:12 in ♈ Aries.

Distance to Moon 372 642 km

The Moon is 372 642 km (231 549 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 364 174 km (226 287 mi).

Moon in ascending node

New draconic month

At 14:27 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.

Moon after southern standstill

5 days since the previous standstill on 23 August 2007 at 08:02 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.377°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.380° at the point of next northern standstill on 5 September 2007 at 04:28 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy

The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
