Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. It is visible to the south in the morning.
Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1824" and ∠1903".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2064 after 21 days on 25 September 2064 at 13:38.
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.
The Moon is 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 799 of Meeus index or 1752 from Brown series.
The length of the 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 the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 22 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 47 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠325.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠344°.
4 days after point of apogee on 30 August 2064 at 14:46 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 12 September 2064 at 00:51 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 393 044 km (244 226 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 598 km (222 822 mi).
10 days after ascending node on 25 August 2064 at 09:06 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 8 September 2064 at 19:25 in ♌ Leo.
10 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
At 22:06 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠27.341°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-27.279° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 17 September 2064 at 12:22.
In 6 days on 11 September 2064 at 02:11 in ♍ Virgo 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.
