Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1770" and ∠1892".
Sturgeon Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2032 after 14 days on 21 August 2032 at 01:47.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 14 August 2032 at 07:51
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 21 August 2032 at 01:47
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 27 August 2032 at 19:33

Spring tide
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.
New lunation 403 / 1356
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.
Synodic month length 29.66 days
29 days, 15 hours and 45 minutes is the length of new lunation 403. It is 45 minutes shorter than next lunation 404 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 1 minute longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 2 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠166.3°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠166.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠189.3°. 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°).
Moon before apogee
13 days after point of perigee on 23 July 2032 at 18:45 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 7 August 2032 at 17:16 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 405 002 km
Moon is 405 002 km (251 657 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next day until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 532 km (252 607 mi).
Moon before ascending node
8 days after its descending node on 29 July 2032 at 06:13 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 12 August 2032 at 19:55 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
20 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
4 days after previous North standstill on 1 August 2032 at 21:35 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠19.514°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-19.386° in the next southern standstill on 16 August 2032 at 13:55 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
