Moon is passing first ∠4° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 3 October 2045 at 18:31.
Hunter Moon after 18 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2045 after 18 days on 25 October 2045 at 21:31.
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 ∠1972"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1920".
Lunation 565 / 1518
The Moon is 26 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 565 of Meeus index or 1518 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 9 minutes and it is 2 hours and 3 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 35 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 34 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠16.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠16.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠34.3°.
Moon before perigee
14 days since point of apogee on 22 September 2045 at 12:20 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 8 October 2045 at 08:16 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 363 562 km(225 907 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 362 867 km(225 475 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 6 October 2045 at 15:11 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 19 October 2045 at 23:03 in ♒ Aquarius.
4 days since the last northern standstill on 2 October 2045 at 12:33 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.609° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.520° at the point of next southern standstill on 15 October 2045 at 06:40 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 2 days on 10 October 2045 at 10:37 in ♎ Libra the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
