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 in ♋ Cancer
Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♌ Leo later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1931" and ∠1888".
Buck Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2037 after 13 days on 27 July 2037 at 04:15.

- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 4 August 2037 at 07:51

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 464 / 1417
At 02:32 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 464 of Meeus index or 1417 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.34 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 10 minutes. It is 26 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 34 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 35 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠318.7°
The true anomaly is ∠318.7°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠338.4°.
Moon before apogee
9 days after point of apogee on 3 July 2037 at 19:50 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 15 July 2037 at 16:48 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 371 148 km
The Moon is 371 148 km (230 621 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 364 330 km (226 384 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 15:35 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 26 July 2037 at 17:23 in ♑ Capricorn.
New draconic month
At 15:35 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 12 July 2037 at 10:57 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠21.362°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-21.355° at the point of next southern standstill on 25 July 2037 at 08:44 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
