Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is entering ♍ Virgo
Moon is passing first ∠1° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1927" and ∠1901".
Harvest Moon after 16 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2035 after 16 days on 17 September 2035 at 14:23.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Virgo ♍ on 2 September 2035 at 01:59
- First Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 9 September 2035 at 14:47
- Full Moon in Pisces ♓ on 17 September 2035 at 14:23
- Last Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 24 September 2035 at 14:39
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 440 / 1393
At 17:12 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 440 of Meeus index or 1393 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.37 days
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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠25.6°
The true anomaly is ∠25.6°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠46.4°.
Moon after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 30 August 2035 at 02:28 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 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 10 September 2035 at 23:26 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 372 057 km
The Moon is 372 057 km (231 186 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 365 km (251 261 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♌ Leo at 19:14 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 16 September 2035 at 02:58 in ♓ Pisces.
New draconic month
At 19:14 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after northern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 28 August 2035 at 17:25 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.744°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.755° at the point of next southern standstill on 11 September 2035 at 06:40 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
