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 464 / 1417
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 464 of Meeus index or 1417 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.34 days
Length of current 464 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 10 minutes. It is 26 minutes longer than next lunation 465 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 34 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 35 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠318.7°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠318.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠338.4°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
9 days after point of apogee on 31 July 2037 at 12:33 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 12 August 2037 at 17:37 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 369 593 km
Moon is 369 593 km (229 654 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 2 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 359 796 km (223 567 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 01:40 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 12 days to meet descending node on 22 August 2037 at 23:10 in ♑ Capricorn.
New draconic month
At 01:40 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day after previous North standstill on 8 August 2037 at 21:01 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠21.369°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-21.390° in the next southern standstill on 21 August 2037 at 14:16 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 11 August 2037 at 10:41 in ♌ Leo, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
