Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Hunter Moon after 7 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2062 after 7 days on 18 October 2062 at 08:18.
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 ∠1769"
Lunar disc appears visually 8.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1922".
Lunation 776 / 1729
The Moon is 7 days young and navigating through the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 776 of Meeus index or 1729 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 43 minutes and it is 2 hours and 45 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 1 minute shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 8 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠54.6°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠54.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠86.4°.
Moon before apogee
11 days since point of perigee on 29 September 2062 at 03:19 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 October 2062 at 03:14 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 405 213 km(251 788 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 271 km(251 202 mi).
Moon before ascending node
8 days after descending node on 1 October 2062 at 12:54 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 5 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 15 October 2062 at 19:12 in ♓ Pisces.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 8 October 2062 at 21:13 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.620° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.544° at the point of next northern standstill on 22 October 2062 at 22:10 in ♊ Gemini.
In 7 days on 18 October 2062 at 08:18 in ♈ Aries 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.
