Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. It is visible to the south in the morning.
Moon is passing about ∠7° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1834" and ∠1901".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2067 after 22 days on 23 September 2067 at 00:54.
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 836 of Meeus index or 1789 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 32 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2067. It is 13 minutes longer 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 2 hours and 48 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 15 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠183°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠207.1°.
7 days after point of perigee on 24 August 2067 at 03:23 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 5 September 2067 at 23:25 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 390 876 km (242 879 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 157 km (252 374 mi).
11 days after ascending node on 19 August 2067 at 17:42 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 1 September 2067 at 06:54 in ♊ Gemini.
11 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
11 days since the previous standstill on 19 August 2067 at 18:29 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.875°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠22.778° at the point of next northern standstill on 1 September 2067 at 09:55 in ♊ Gemini.
In 8 days on 8 September 2067 at 18:09 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.
