Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. It is visible to the south in the morning.
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 5.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1794" and ∠1902".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2029 after 21 days on 22 September 2029 at 16:29.
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.
The Moon is 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 366 of Meeus index or 1319 from Brown series.
Length of current 366 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 49 minutes. It is 19 minutes longer than next lunation 367 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 55 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 14 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠309.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠331.3°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
3 days after point of apogee on 29 August 2029 at 04:45 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 10 September 2029 at 04:27 in ♎ Libra.
Moon is 399 424 km (248 191 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 8 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 361 349 km (224 532 mi).
12 days after its ascending node on 19 August 2029 at 15:32 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 3 September 2029 at 01:43 in ♋ Cancer.
12 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
At 23:36 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠24.127°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-24.021° in its southern standstill point on 14 September 2029 at 18:54 in ♐ Sagittarius.
After 6 days on 8 September 2029 at 10:44 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
