Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is entering ♌ Leo
Moon is passing first ∠3° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1890".
Sturgeon Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2049 after 14 days on 13 August 2049 at 09:19.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 6 August 2049 at 17:52
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 13 August 2049 at 09:19
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 20 August 2049 at 07:10
- New Moon in Virgo ♍ on 28 August 2049 at 11:18
Spring tide
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.
New lunation 613 / 1566
At 20:07 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 613 of Meeus index or 1566 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.63 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 11 minutes. It is 25 minutes longer 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 2 hours and 27 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 36 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠185.8°
The true anomaly is ∠185.8°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠210.2°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 04:27. It is 13 days after previous perigee on 15 July 2049 at 07:18 in ♑ Capricorn. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next perigee on 12 August 2049 at 17:06 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 406 570 km
This apogee Moon is 406 570 km (252 631 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's farthest apogee of 2049. It is 1 162 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 139 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 24 July 2049 at 21:01 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 8 August 2049 at 08:48 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
17 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 25 July 2049 at 17:25 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.002°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-21.891° at the point of next southern standstill on 9 August 2049 at 04:55 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
