Moon phase and lunation details

1 day after New Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 23 July 2036 at 10:17.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.

Moon in ♌ Leo

Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1972"

Lunar disc appears visually 4.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1889".

Sturgeon Moon after 13 days

Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2036 after 13 days on 7 August 2036 at 02:49.

Upcoming main Moon phases

Moderate tide

There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.

Lunation 452 / 1405

The Moon is 1 day young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 452 of Meeus index or 1405 from Brown series.

PreviousCurrent lunationNext

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°

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

Moon after perigee

1 day after point of perigee on 23 July 2036 at 18:38 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 13 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 August 2036 at 19:59 in ♒ Aquarius.

Previous perigeeNext apogee

Distance to Moon 363 407 km

The Moon is 363 407 km (225 811 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 13 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 243 km (252 428 mi).

Moon in ascending node

Moon is in ascending node in ♌ Leo at 11:36 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 7 August 2036 at 06:48 in ♒ Aquarius.

Previous nodeNext node

New draconic month

At 11:36 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.

Moon after northern standstill

2 days 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 10 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

Syzygy in 13 days

In 13 days on 7 August 2036 at 02:49 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
