Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2037 after 14 days on 25 August 2037 at 19:09.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 18 August 2037 at 01:00
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 25 August 2037 at 19:09
- Last Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 2 September 2037 at 22:03

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 465 / 1418
At 10:41 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 465 of Meeus index or 1418 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.32 days
29 days, 7 hours and 44 minutes is the length of new lunation 465. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2037. It is 25 minutes shorter than next lunation 466 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 9 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠338.4°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠338.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠354.5°. 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
10 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 day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 12 August 2037 at 17:37 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 366 423 km
Moon is 366 423 km (227 685 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 359 796 km (223 567 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after its ascending node on 10 August 2037 at 01:40 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 11 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 22 August 2037 at 23:10 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
1 day after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days after previous North standstill on 8 August 2037 at 21:01 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠21.369°. Next 10 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.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
