Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 365 / 1318
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 365 of Meeus index or 1318 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.42 days
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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠279.1°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠279.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠309.2°.
Moon before perigee
7 days after point of perigee on 18 July 2029 at 11:25 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 August 2029 at 10:42 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 385 451 km
The Moon is 385 451 km (239 508 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 310 km (251 227 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 23 July 2029 at 11:12 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 6 August 2029 at 20:21 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 22 July 2029 at 07:07 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-24.380°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠24.323° at the point of next northern standstill on 5 August 2029 at 14:53 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
