Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 3 days on 25 September 2039 at 04:53.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1924" and ∠1915".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2039 after 3 days on 2 October 2039 at 07:23.
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.
The Moon is 11 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 491 of Meeus index or 1444 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 46 minutes. It is 9 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 58 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 11 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠294.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠321.1°.
5 days after point of perigee on 23 September 2039 at 02:18 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 October 2039 at 10:06 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 372 531 km (231 480 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 575 km (251 391 mi).
4 days after descending node on 24 September 2039 at 01:47 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 7 October 2039 at 15:37 in ♊ Gemini.
17 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
2 days since the previous standstill on 25 September 2039 at 19:27 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.118°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.247° at the point of next northern standstill on 9 October 2039 at 20:04 in ♋ Cancer.
In 3 days on 2 October 2039 at 07:23 in ♈ Aries the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
