Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1967" and ∠1902".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2054 after 14 days on 17 September 2054 at 01:41.
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.
At 01:18 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 676 of Meeus index or 1629 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 31 minutes. It is 1 hour and 41 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 13 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 56 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠7.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠23.7°.
1 day after point of perigee on 1 September 2054 at 14:49 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 September 2054 at 13:46 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 364 317 km (226 376 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 922 km (252 228 mi).
1 day after ascending node on 1 September 2054 at 07:18 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 14 September 2054 at 21:07 in ♒ Aquarius.
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 28 August 2054 at 21:36 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.122°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.139° at the point of next southern standstill on 10 September 2054 at 15:24 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
