Apparent angular diameter ∠1927"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1927" and ∠1902".
Lunation 861 / 1814
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 861 of Meeus index or 1814 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 32 minutes and it is 2 hours and 56 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 48 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 15 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠99.7°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠99.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠133.4°.
Moon before perigee
9 days since point of apogee on 22 August 2069 at 23:32 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 3 September 2069 at 20:15 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 371 986 km(231 141 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 363 898 km(226 116 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 22 August 2069 at 19:50 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 5 September 2069 at 05:58 in ♉ Taurus.
5 days since the last southern standstill on 26 August 2069 at 12:58 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.563° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.464° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 September 2069 at 10:56 in ♊ Gemini.
