Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 3 days on 17 October 2039 at 19:09.
Hunter Moon after 10 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2039 after 10 days on 31 October 2039 at 22:36.
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 ∠1973"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1928".
Lunation 492 / 1445
The Moon is 4 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 492 of Meeus index or 1445 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 37 minutes and it is 9 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2039. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit 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 2 hours and 7 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 2 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠321.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠321.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠340.7°.
Moon after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 20 October 2039 at 05:11 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 14 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 5 November 2039 at 04:29 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 363 366 km(225 785 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 14 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 534 km(251 987 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♐ Sagittarius at 04:37 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 3 November 2039 at 19:55 in ♊ Gemini.
11 days since the last northern standstill on 9 October 2039 at 20:04 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.247° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-25.344° at the point of next southern standstill on 23 October 2039 at 01:02 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 10 days on 31 October 2039 at 22:36 in ♉ Taurus 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.
