Moon phase and lunation details
7 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 7 days on 24 July 2061 at 08:05.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♑ Capricorn
Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♒ Aquarius later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1803"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1803" and ∠1891".
Sturgeon Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2061 after 1 day on 1 August 2061 at 10:11.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 1 August 2061 at 10:11
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 8 August 2061 at 16:09
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 15 August 2061 at 09:39
- First Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 23 August 2061 at 01:18
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 761 / 1714
The Moon is 14 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 761 of Meeus index or 1714 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.35 days
Length of current 761 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 29 minutes. It is 2 hours and 29 minutes shorter than next lunation 762 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 15 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 54 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠31.2°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠31.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠53.7°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after apogee
4 days after point of apogee on 27 July 2061 at 02:41 in ♐ Sagittarius. 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 11 August 2061 at 19:47 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 397 534 km
Moon is 397 534 km (247 016 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 11 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 366 956 km (228 016 mi).
Moon before ascending node
8 days after its descending node on 22 July 2061 at 20:17 in ♎ Libra, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 5 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 6 August 2061 at 04:44 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
21 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♈ Aries, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
2 days after previous South standstill on 29 July 2061 at 09:52 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-28.342°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠28.426° in the next northern standstill on 11 August 2061 at 20:45 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 1 August 2061 at 10:11 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
