Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 441 / 1394
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 441 of Meeus index or 1394 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.46 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 7 minutes. It is 2 hours and 45 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 1 hour and 37 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 32 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠46.4°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠46.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠75°.
Moon after apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 10 September 2035 at 23:26 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 25 September 2035 at 13:37 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 387 972 km
The Moon is 387 972 km (241 075 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 8 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 772 km (229 766 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 16 September 2035 at 02:58 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 29 September 2035 at 03:21 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
15 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
6 days since the previous standstill on 11 September 2035 at 06:40 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.755°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.804° at the point of next northern standstill on 24 September 2035 at 23:19 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
