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 837 / 1790
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 837 of Meeus index or 1790 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.64 days
Length of current 837 lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 19 minutes. It is 33 minutes longer than next lunation 838 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 35 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 28 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠207.1°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠207.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠237.7°. 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 before apogee
7 days after point of perigee on 21 September 2067 at 11:31 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 5 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 3 October 2067 at 12:21 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 392 642 km
Moon is 392 642 km (243 976 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 5 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 262 km (251 818 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♊ Gemini at 09:08 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from North to South. Moon will follow the southern part of its orbit for the next 14 days to meet ascending node on 12 October 2067 at 20:11 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
12 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is moving from the middle to the last part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 17:33 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠22.519°. Next 14 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-22.403° in its southern standstill point on 13 October 2067 at 06:21 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 9 days
After 9 days on 8 October 2067 at 09:28 in ♎ Libra, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
