Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 1 day on 10 August 2035 at 21:52.
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 ∠7° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1777" and ∠1894".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2035 after 6 days on 19 August 2035 at 01:00.
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 9 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 440 of Meeus index or 1393 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 48 minutes. It is 2 hours and 19 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 3 hours and 56 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 13 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠25.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠46.4°.
10 days after point of perigee on 2 August 2035 at 04:06 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 August 2035 at 06:09 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 403 413 km (250 669 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 130 km (251 736 mi).
7 days after ascending node on 5 August 2035 at 09:20 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 19 August 2035 at 19:18 in ♒ Aquarius.
7 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
11 days since the previous standstill on 1 August 2035 at 09:14 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.787°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.761° at the point of next southern standstill on 14 August 2035 at 22:59 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 6 days on 19 August 2035 at 01:00 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
