Apparent angular diameter ∠1779"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1779" and ∠1919".
Lunation 355 / 1308
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 355 of Meeus index or 1308 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 33 minutes and it is 1 hour and 48 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 4 hours and 11 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 58 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠2.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠2.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠18.5°.
Moon after apogee
2 days since point of apogee on 1 October 2028 at 21:38 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 17 October 2028 at 00:41 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 402 922 km(250 364 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 010 km(223 078 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 26 September 2028 at 22:21 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 11 October 2028 at 11:37 in ♋ Cancer.
9 days since the last southern standstill on 24 September 2028 at 13:21 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.598° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.447° at the point of next northern standstill on 9 October 2028 at 07:11 in ♊ Gemini.
