Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 6 September 2059 at 23:01.
Harvest Moon after 12 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2059 after 12 days on 21 September 2059 at 17:18.
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 ∠1775"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1775" and ∠1905".
Lunation 738 / 1691
The Moon is 2 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 738 of Meeus index or 1691 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 49 minutes and it is 33 minutes shorter 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 5 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 58 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠173.7°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠173.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠197.3°.
Moon after apogee
1 day since point of apogee on 7 September 2059 at 16:10 in ♍ Virgo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 21 September 2059 at 12:34 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 403 795 km(250 907 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 356 861 km(221 743 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 28 August 2059 at 20:26 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 12 September 2059 at 09:18 in ♏ Scorpio.
8 days since the last northern standstill on 1 September 2059 at 10:58 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.870° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.003° at the point of next southern standstill on 16 September 2059 at 04:41 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 12 days on 21 September 2059 at 17:18 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
