Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 515 / 1468
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 515 of Meeus index or 1468 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.68 days
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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠176.4°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠176.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠200.1°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 02:12. It is 14 days after previous apogee on 27 August 2041 at 02:03 in ♍ Virgo. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 12 days, until point of next apogee on 23 September 2041 at 04:59 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 357 004 km
This perigee Moon is 357 004 km (221 832 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 504 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 352 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before ascending node
9 days after descending node on 1 September 2041 at 00:51 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 13 September 2041 at 16:25 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
24 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
4 days since the previous standstill on 5 September 2041 at 12:54 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.620°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.700° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 September 2041 at 03:03 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
