Moon phase and lunation details

2 days after Last Quarter

Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 15 September 2033 at 17:34.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.

Moon in ♋ Cancer

Synodic month length 29.67 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 1 minute. It is 1 hour and 49 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 longer than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 16 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 47 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠140.6°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠140.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠166.6°.

Moon before perigee

8 days after point of perigee on 10 September 2033 at 01:49 in ♈ Aries. 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 25 September 2033 at 01:33 in ♎ Libra.

Distance to Moon 388 737 km

The Moon is 388 737 km (241 550 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 444 km (252 553 mi).

Moon before ascending node

7 days after descending node on 10 September 2033 at 19:07 in ♈ Aries. 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 24 September 2033 at 12:46 in ♎ Libra.

Moon after northern standstill

2 days since the previous standstill on 15 September 2033 at 23:39 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.313°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.282° at the point of next southern standstill on 30 September 2033 at 17:33 in ♐ Sagittarius.

Syzygy in 5 days

In 5 days on 23 September 2033 at 13:40 in ♍ Virgo 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.
