Moon phase and lunation details

1 day after New Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 31 August 2027 at 17:41.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.

Moon in ♍ Virgo

Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1948"

Lunar disc appears visually 2.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1948" and ∠1901".

Harvest Moon after 14 days

Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2027 after 14 days on 15 September 2027 at 23:04.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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.

Lunation 342 / 1295

The Moon is 1 day young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 342 of Meeus index or 1295 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.37 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 55 minutes. It is 2 hours and 5 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 3 hours and 49 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 20 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠18.2°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠18.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠36.7°.

Moon after perigee

1 day after point of perigee on 30 August 2027 at 15:36 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 September 2027 at 23:39 in ♑ Capricorn.

Distance to Moon 367 872 km

The Moon is 367 872 km (228 585 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 384 km (251 894 mi).

Moon after descending node

2 days after descending node on 29 August 2027 at 23:01 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 10 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 12 September 2027 at 11:26 in ♒ Aquarius.

Draconic month

16 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.

Moon after northern standstill

5 days since the previous standstill on 26 August 2027 at 14:14 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.172°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.122° at the point of next southern standstill on 8 September 2027 at 08:57 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Syzygy in 14 days

In 14 days on 15 September 2027 at 23:04 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
