Moon phase and lunation details

6 days after Last Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 6 days on 4 September 2007 at 02:33.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.

Moon in ♍ Virgo

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.

Lunar orbit position on

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 perigee

10 days after point of perigee on 31 August 2007 at 00:12 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 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 15 September 2007 at 21:06 in ♏ Scorpio.

Distance to Moon 394 087 km

The Moon is 394 087 km (244 874 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 645 km (252 056 mi).

Moon after northern standstill

5 days since the previous standstill on 5 September 2007 at 04:28 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.380°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.347° at the point of next southern standstill on 19 September 2007 at 16:22 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Syzygy in 1 day

In 1 day on 11 September 2007 at 12:44 in ♍ Virgo 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.
