5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 20 July 2035 at 10:37.
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 is entering ♈ Aries
Moon is passing first ∠0° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1869"

Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 28 July 2035 at 02:55
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 3 August 2035 at 17:12
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 10 August 2035 at 21:52

Neap tide
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.
Lunation 439 / 1392
The Moon is 19 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 439 of Meeus index or 1392 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.3 days
Length of current 439 lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 12 minutes. It is 1 hour and 36 minutes shorter than next lunation 440 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 32 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 37 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠9.1°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠9.1°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠25.6°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before perigee
7 days after point of apogee on 17 July 2035 at 17:31 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 2 August 2035 at 04:06 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 383 461 km
Moon is 383 461 km (238 272 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 7 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 360 719 km (224 140 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after its descending node on 23 July 2035 at 13:46 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 10 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 5 August 2035 at 09:20 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
16 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
6 days after previous South standstill on 18 July 2035 at 15:35 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.832°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.787° in the next northern standstill on 1 August 2035 at 09:14 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 9 days
After 9 days on 3 August 2035 at 17:12 in ♌ Leo, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
