Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 13 September 2036 at 10:29.
Hunter Moon after 19 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2036 after 19 days on 5 October 2036 at 10:15.
Neap tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1963"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1963" and ∠1909".
Lunation 453 / 1406
The Moon is 24 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 453 of Meeus index or 1406 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 16 minutes and it is 1 hour and 42 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 4 hours and 28 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 41 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠9.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠9.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠25.8°.
Moon before perigee
12 days since point of apogee on 3 September 2036 at 00:30 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 18 September 2036 at 12:38 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 365 210 km(226 931 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 3 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 820 km(224 203 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 3 September 2036 at 12:59 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 17 September 2036 at 07:43 in ♌ Leo.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 14 September 2036 at 18:44 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.957° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.031° at the point of next southern standstill on 27 September 2036 at 16:26 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 4 days on 20 September 2036 at 01:51 in ♍ Virgo 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.
