Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1770" and ∠1892".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2032 after 14 days on 21 August 2032 at 01:47.
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 05:11 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 403 of Meeus index or 1356 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 45 minutes. It is 45 minutes shorter 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 3 hours and 1 minute longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 2 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠166.3°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠189.3°.
13 days after point of perigee on 23 July 2032 at 18:45 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 7 August 2032 at 17:16 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 405 002 km (251 657 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 532 km (252 607 mi).
8 days after descending node on 29 July 2032 at 06:13 in ♉ Taurus. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 12 August 2032 at 19:55 in ♎ Libra.
20 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 1 August 2032 at 21:35 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.514°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.386° at the point of next southern standstill on 16 August 2032 at 13:55 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
