Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 775 / 1728
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 775 of Meeus index or 1728 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.42 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 7 minutes. It is 2 hours and 36 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 2 hours and 37 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 32 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠31.5°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠31.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠54.6°.
Moon after apogee
5 days after point of apogee on 13 September 2062 at 08:35 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 29 September 2062 at 03:19 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 394 826 km
The Moon is 394 826 km (245 334 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 253 km (228 200 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♓ Pisces at 11:25 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 1 October 2062 at 12:54 in ♍ Virgo.
New draconic month
At 11:25 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after southern standstill
6 days since the previous standstill on 11 September 2062 at 13:11 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.670°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.655° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 September 2062 at 16:49 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
