Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1927"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1927" and ∠1902".
It is Harvest Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Harvest of September 2069.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 8 September 2069 at 01:22
- New Moon in Virgo ♍ on 15 September 2069 at 11:35
- First Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 23 September 2069 at 16:23

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.
Lunation 861 / 1814
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 861 of Meeus index or 1814 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.56 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 32 minutes. It is 2 hours and 56 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the 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 position on
True anomaly ∠99.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠99.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠133.4°.
Moon before apogee
9 days after 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.
Distance to Moon 371 986 km
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 located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 5 September 2069 at 05:58 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
5 days since the previous 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.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
