Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 6 days 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 ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1785" and ∠1895".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2035 after 1 day on 19 August 2035 at 01:00.
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.
The Moon is 13 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°.
3 days after point of apogee on 14 August 2035 at 06:09 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 30 August 2035 at 02:28 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is 401 449 km (249 449 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 365 533 km (227 132 mi).
12 days after ascending node on 5 August 2035 at 09:20 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 19 August 2035 at 19:18 in ♒ Aquarius.
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
2 days since the previous standstill on 14 August 2035 at 22:59 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.761°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.744° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 August 2035 at 17:25 in ♊ Gemini.
In 1 day 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.
