Moon phase and lunation details

4 days after Full Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 21 July 2062 at 12:47.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.

Moon in ♓ Pisces

Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.

Apparent angular diameter ∠1834"

Lunar disc appears visually 3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1834" and ∠1889".

Buck Moon before 4 days

Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2062 after 24 days on 20 August 2062 at 03:55.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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.

Lunation 773 / 1726

The Moon is 19 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 773 of Meeus index or 1726 from Brown series.

PreviousCurrent lunationNext

Synodic month length 29.28 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 48 minutes. It is 1 hour and 14 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°).

Lunation length shorter than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 57 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 13 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠358.8°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠358.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠14°.

Moon after apogee

6 days after point of apogee on 20 July 2062 at 10:49 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 4 August 2062 at 04:41 in ♌ Leo.

Previous apogeeNext perigee

Distance to Moon 390 806 km

The Moon is 390 806 km (242 836 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 8 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 393 km (222 695 mi).

Moon in ascending node

Moon is in ascending node in ♓ Pisces at 00:55 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 12 days later on 7 August 2062 at 17:38 in ♍ Virgo.

Previous nodeNext node

New draconic month

At 00:55 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.

Moon before northern standstill

7 days since the previous standstill on 19 July 2062 at 00:25 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.466°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.542° at the point of next northern standstill on 2 August 2062 at 02:58 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Syzygy in 9 days

In 9 days on 5 August 2062 at 00:40 in ♌ Leo the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
