5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 26 August 2064 at 21:35.
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 ♉ Taurus
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1778"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1778" and ∠1902".

Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 4 September 2064 at 01:29
- New Moon in Virgo ♍ on 11 September 2064 at 02:11
- First Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 17 September 2064 at 16:45

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 799 / 1752
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 799 of Meeus index or 1752 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.35 days
Length of current 799 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 22 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2064. It is 1 minute shorter than next lunation 800 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 22 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 47 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠325.7°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠325.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠344°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon after apogee
1 day after point of apogee on 30 August 2064 at 14:46 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 12 September 2064 at 00:51 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 403 094 km
Moon is 403 094 km (250 471 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 10 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 358 598 km (222 822 mi).
Moon after ascending node
7 days after its ascending node on 25 August 2064 at 09:06 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 7 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 8 September 2064 at 19:25 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
7 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
11 days after previous South standstill on 21 August 2064 at 06:25 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-27.397°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠27.341° in the next northern standstill on 4 September 2064 at 22:06 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 9 days
After 9 days on 11 September 2064 at 02:11 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
