Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 2 July 2015 at 02:20.
Buck Moon before 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2015 after 24 days on 31 July 2015 at 10:43.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1971"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1887".
Lunation 191 / 1144
The Moon is 19 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 191 of Meeus index or 1144 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 19 minutes and it is 2 hours and 10 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 25 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 44 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠78.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠78.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠112.8°.
Moon after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 5 July 2015 at 18:54 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 14 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 21 July 2015 at 11:02 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 363 713 km(226 001 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 14 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 837 km(251 554 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 24 June 2015 at 17:23 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 8 July 2015 at 00:07 in ♈ Aries.
5 days since the last southern standstill on 1 July 2015 at 06:48 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.445° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.417° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 July 2015 at 04:24 in ♊ Gemini.
In 9 days on 16 July 2015 at 01:24 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.
