Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 7 August 2036 at 02:49.
Sturgeon Moon before 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2036 after 28 days on 5 September 2036 at 18:45.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1773"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1773" and ∠1893".
Lunation 452 / 1405
The Moon is 16 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 452 of Meeus index or 1405 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 18 minutes and it is 58 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 details for
True anomaly ∠354.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠354.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠9.3°.
Moon after apogee
1 day since point of apogee on 6 August 2036 at 19:59 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 21 August 2036 at 04:27 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 404 274 km(251 204 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 819 km(222 338 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 7 August 2036 at 06:48 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 20 August 2036 at 22:29 in ♌ Leo.
4 days since the last southern standstill on 4 August 2036 at 03:31 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.865° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.867° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 August 2036 at 10:50 in ♋ Cancer.
In 13 days on 21 August 2036 at 17:35 in ♌ Leo the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
