Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 4 September 2047 at 08:54.
Harvest Moon before 5 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2047 after 24 days on 3 October 2047 at 23:42.
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 ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1905".
Lunation 589 / 1542
The Moon is 19 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 589 of Meeus index or 1542 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 15 minutes and it is 18 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 3 hours and 29 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 40 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠306.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠306.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠329.2°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 17:06 about 15 days since last perigee on 24 August 2047 at 23:21 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next perigee on 21 September 2047 at 15:28 in ♎ Libra.
This apogee Moon is 404 975 km(251 640 mi) away from Earth. It is 433 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 1 734 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 31 August 2047 at 00:29 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 14 September 2047 at 10:02 in ♋ Cancer.
11 days since the last southern standstill on 29 August 2047 at 04:16 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.179° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.055° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 September 2047 at 11:14 in ♊ Gemini.
In 10 days on 19 September 2047 at 18:31 in ♍ Virgo 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.
