Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♌ Leo later.
2 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 23 September 2027 at 10:20.
Hunter Moon after 20 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2027 after 20 days on 15 October 2027 at 13:47.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1971"
Lunar disc appears visually 3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1914".
Lunation 342 / 1295
The Moon is 24 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 342 of Meeus index or 1295 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 55 minutes and it is 2 hours and 5 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 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 details for
True anomaly ∠18.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠18.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠36.7°.
Moon before perigee
13 days since point of apogee on 11 September 2027 at 23:39 in ♑ Capricorn 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 27 September 2027 at 20:12 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 363 678 km(225 979 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 363 455 km(225 840 mi).
Moon before descending node
13 days after ascending node on 12 September 2027 at 11:26 in ♒ Aquarius 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 26 September 2027 at 06:04 in ♌ Leo.
2 days since the last northern standstill on 22 September 2027 at 20:33 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.015° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.921° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 October 2027 at 16:53 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 4 days on 30 September 2027 at 02:36 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.
