Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 12 July 2035 at 07:33.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1888".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2035 after 2 days on 20 July 2035 at 10:37.
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 12 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 439 of Meeus index or 1392 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 12 minutes. It is 1 hour and 36 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 32 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 37 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠9.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠25.6°.
Moon is at apogee at 17:31. It is 12 days after previous perigee on 4 July 2035 at 21:00 in ♊ Gemini. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 15 days, until point of next perigee on 2 August 2035 at 04:06 in ♋ Cancer.
This apogee Moon is 406 005 km (252 280 mi) away from Earth. It is 597 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 704 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
8 days after ascending node on 9 July 2035 at 01:03 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 23 July 2035 at 13:46 in ♒ Aquarius.
8 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
12 days since the previous standstill on 4 July 2035 at 22:29 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.843°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-18.832° at the point of next southern standstill on 18 July 2035 at 15:35 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 2 days on 20 July 2035 at 10:37 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
