Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
It is Hunter Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Hunter of October 2068.
Spring tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1972"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1922".
Lunation 850 / 1803
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 850 of Meeus index or 1803 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 29 minutes and it is 4 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2068. 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 45 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 18 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠183.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠183.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠209.1°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 11:20 about 14 days since last apogee on 26 September 2068 at 00:00 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next apogee on 23 October 2068 at 04:48 in ♍ Virgo.
This perigee Moon is 357 423 km(222 092 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 085 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 12 933 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 30 September 2068 at 14:29 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 13 October 2068 at 09:31 in ♉ Taurus.
7 days since the last southern standstill on 2 October 2068 at 15:38 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.769° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.707° at the point of next northern standstill on 15 October 2068 at 05:07 in ♊ Gemini.
