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 442 / 1395
The Moon is 6 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 442 of Meeus index or 1395 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.58 days
Length of current 442 lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 52 minutes. It is 2 hours and 47 minutes shorter than next lunation 443 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 8 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 55 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠75°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠75°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠110.7°. 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 in apogee
Moon is reaching point of apogee on this date at 19:01, this is 13 days after last perigee on 25 September 2035 at 13:37 in ♋ Cancer. Lunar orbit is starting to get closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth for 12 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next perigee on 20 October 2035 at 19:38 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 404 310 km
This apogee Moon is 404 310 km (251 227 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest apogee of 2035. It is 1 098 km farther than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 259 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
9 days after its ascending node on 29 September 2035 at 03:21 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 4 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 13 October 2035 at 10:19 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
9 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon in southern standstill
At 14:46 on this date the Moon is meeting its South standstill point, when it will reach southern declination of ∠-18.877°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite northward direction to face North declination of ∠18.978° in its northern standstill point on 22 October 2035 at 04:59 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 8 days
After 8 days on 17 October 2035 at 02:35 in ♈ Aries, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
