Moon phase and lunation details

5 days after Last Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 3 October 2007 at 10:06.

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

Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.

Synodic month length 29.68 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 16 minutes. It is 1 hour and 46 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 3 hours and 32 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 31 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠131.4°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠131.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠159.5°.

Moon before perigee

10 days after point of perigee on 28 September 2007 at 01:53 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 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 13 October 2007 at 09:53 in ♏ Scorpio.

Distance to Moon 396 184 km

The Moon is 396 184 km (246 177 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 491 km (252 582 mi).

Moon after descending node

1 day after descending node on 7 October 2007 at 20:03 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 22 October 2007 at 09:02 in ♓ Pisces.

Moon after northern standstill

6 days since the previous standstill on 2 October 2007 at 10:23 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.296°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.194° at the point of next southern standstill on 16 October 2007 at 23:14 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Syzygy in 2 days

In 2 days on 11 October 2007 at 05:01 in ♎ Libra 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.
