Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 15 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 26 July 2067 at 09:58 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠5° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Buck of July 2067.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1889".
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 835 of Meeus index or 1788 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 20 minutes and it is 12 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit 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 2 hours and 36 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 27 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠159.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠183°.
Moon is at perigee at 17:23 about 13 days since last apogee on 13 July 2067 at 14:29 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 14 days until point of next apogee on 9 August 2067 at 18:29 in ♌ Leo.
This perigee Moon is 357 147 km (221 921 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 361 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 209 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
2 days after ascending node on 23 July 2067 at 12:01 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 5 August 2067 at 05:26 in ♊ Gemini.
3 days since the last southern standstill on 23 July 2067 at 09:15 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.048° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠22.998° at the point of next northern standstill on 5 August 2067 at 03:19 in ♊ Gemini.
2 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
