Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1900".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2041 after 13 days on 10 September 2041 at 09:24.
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.
At 16:16 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 515 of Meeus index or 1468 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 25 minutes. It is 24 minutes shorter 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 3 hours and 41 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 22 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠176.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠200.1°.
Moon is at apogee at 02:03. It is 14 days after previous perigee on 12 August 2041 at 16:02 in ♒ Aquarius. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 13 days, until point of next perigee on 10 September 2041 at 02:12 in ♓ Pisces.
This apogee Moon is 406 632 km (252 669 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's farthest apogee of 2041. It is 1 224 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 77 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
10 days after ascending node on 17 August 2041 at 11:36 in ♉ Taurus. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 1 September 2041 at 00:51 in ♏ Scorpio.
10 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
5 days since the previous standstill on 21 August 2041 at 21:17 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.495°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.620° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 September 2041 at 12:54 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
