Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1793" and ∠1891".
Sturgeon Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2057 after 14 days on 14 August 2057 at 17:21.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 8 August 2057 at 01:30
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 14 August 2057 at 17:21
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 22 August 2057 at 02:02

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 712 / 1665
At 14:32 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 712 of Meeus index or 1665 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.56 days
29 days, 13 hours and 23 minutes is the length of new lunation 712. It is 1 hour and 17 minutes longer than next lunation 713 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 39 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 6 hours and 24 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠222.5°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠222.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠255.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon after apogee
3 days after point of apogee on 27 July 2057 at 15:44 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 11 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 12 August 2057 at 10:32 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 399 709 km
Moon is 399 709 km (248 368 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 11 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 363 290 km (225 738 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after its ascending node on 28 July 2057 at 14:55 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 10 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 11 August 2057 at 07:29 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
2 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days after previous North standstill on 29 July 2057 at 08:55 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠23.709°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-23.760° in the next southern standstill on 11 August 2057 at 22:52 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
