Moon phase and lunation details
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 12 July 2033 at 09:29.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon in ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1939"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.7% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1939" and ∠1888".
Buck Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2033 after 27 days on 10 August 2033 at 18:08.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 19 July 2033 at 04:07
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 26 July 2033 at 08:12
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 3 August 2033 at 10:26

Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 414 / 1367
The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 414 of Meeus index or 1367 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.46 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 6 minutes. It is 2 hours and 21 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 39 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 31 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠74.1°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠74.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠108.5°.
Moon before apogee
10 days after point of apogee on 4 July 2033 at 04:55 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 16 July 2033 at 09:27 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 369 671 km
The Moon is 369 671 km (229 703 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 673 km (228 461 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 5 July 2033 at 01:29 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 18 July 2033 at 09:20 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, 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 10 July 2033 at 14:02 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.676°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.624° at the point of next northern standstill on 23 July 2033 at 11:24 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 11 days
In 11 days on 26 July 2033 at 08:12 in ♌ Leo the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
