Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1858" and ∠1887".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2029 after 14 days on 25 July 2029 at 13:36.
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
At 15:51 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 365 of Meeus index or 1318 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 5 minutes. It is 1 hour and 16 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 39 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 30 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠279.1°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠309.2°.
6 days after point of apogee on 4 July 2029 at 16:05 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 18 July 2029 at 11:25 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 385 868 km (239 767 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 666 km (229 700 mi).
1 day after descending node on 10 July 2029 at 12:33 in ♋ Cancer. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 23 July 2029 at 11:12 in ♑ Capricorn.
15 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
2 days since the previous standstill on 9 July 2029 at 05:56 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠24.399°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-24.380° at the point of next southern standstill on 22 July 2029 at 07:07 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
