Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
It is Buck Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Buck of July 2047.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1907"
Lunar disc appears visually 1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1907" and ∠1887".
Lunation 587 / 1540
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 587 of Meeus index or 1540 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 13 minutes and it is 1 hour and 46 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. 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 31 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 38 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠240°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠240° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠274.9°.
Moon after perigee
3 days since point of perigee on 4 July 2047 at 04:56 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 8 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 16 July 2047 at 03:57 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 375 943 km(233 600 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 370 km(251 264 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♑ Capricorn at 11:43 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 14 days until Moon's next descending node later on 21 July 2047 at 20:52 in ♋ Cancer.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 5 July 2047 at 15:10 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.343° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.339° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 July 2047 at 18:19 in ♊ Gemini.
At 11:43 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
