Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♌ Leo
Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1893".
Sturgeon Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2067 after 15 days on 24 August 2067 at 16:57.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 10 August 2067 at 02:36
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 18 August 2067 at 01:09
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 24 August 2067 at 16:57
- Last Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 31 August 2067 at 14:04
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 835 / 1788
At 11:16 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 835 of Meeus index or 1788 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.64 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 20 minutes. It is 12 minutes 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
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.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠159.9°
The true anomaly is ∠159.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠183°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 18:29. It is 14 days after previous perigee on 26 July 2067 at 17:23 in ♒ Aquarius. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next perigee on 24 August 2067 at 03:23 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 406 600 km
This apogee Moon is 406 600 km (252 650 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's farthest apogee of 2067. It is 1 192 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 109 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 5 August 2067 at 05:26 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 10 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 19 August 2067 at 17:42 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
16 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
4 days since the previous standstill on 5 August 2067 at 03:19 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.998°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.875° at the point of next southern standstill on 19 August 2067 at 18:29 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
