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 442 / 1395
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle 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 before perigee
8 days after point of apogee on 8 October 2035 at 19:01 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 3 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 20 October 2035 at 19:38 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 376 266 km
Moon is 376 266 km (233 801 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 3 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 367 444 km (228 319 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after its descending node on 13 October 2035 at 10:19 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 26 October 2035 at 07:11 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
18 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
8 days after previous South standstill on 8 October 2035 at 14:46 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.877°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.978° in the next northern standstill on 22 October 2035 at 04:59 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
