Moon phase and lunation details

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.

Moon is entering ♌ Leo

Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter

Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1889".

Sturgeon Moon after 14 days

Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2036 after 14 days on 7 August 2036 at 02:49.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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 452 / 1405

At 10:17 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 452 of Meeus index or 1405 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.3 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 18 minutes. It is 58 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 5 hours and 26 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 43 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠354.1°

The true anomaly is ∠354.1°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠9.3°.

Moon at perigee

Moon is at perigee at 18:38. It is 13 days after previous apogee on 10 July 2036 at 16:20 in ♒ Aquarius. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next apogee on 6 August 2036 at 19:59 in ♒ Aquarius.

Distance to Moon 357 534 km

This perigee Moon is 357 534 km (222 161 mi) away from Earth. It is 4 974 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 12 822 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.

Moon before ascending node

12 days after descending node on 11 July 2036 at 00:53 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 24 July 2036 at 11:36 in ♌ Leo.

Draconic month

26 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 northern standstill

1 day since the previous standstill on 22 July 2036 at 00:37 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.877°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.865° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 August 2036 at 03:31 in ♑ Capricorn.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy

The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
