Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 3 days on 30 July 2036 at 02:56.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1806" and ∠1891".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2036 after 4 days on 7 August 2036 at 02:49.
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.
The Moon is 10 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 452 of Meeus index or 1405 from Brown series.
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°).
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.
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°.
9 days 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 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 August 2036 at 19:59 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 396 956 km (246 657 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 243 km (252 428 mi).
9 days after ascending node on 24 July 2036 at 11:36 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 7 August 2036 at 06:48 in ♒ Aquarius.
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
11 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 day to face maximum declination of ∠-19.865° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 August 2036 at 03:31 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 4 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.
