Moon is passing about ∠25° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 1 September 2069 at 09:06.
Harvest Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2069 after 26 days on 30 September 2069 at 18:09.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1970"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1970" and ∠1903".
Lunation 861 / 1814
The Moon is 18 days old and navigating from the middle to the last 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 after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 3 September 2069 at 20:15 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 15 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 19 September 2069 at 17:06 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 363 831 km(226 074 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 15 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 575 km(252 013 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 22 August 2069 at 19:50 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 5 September 2069 at 05:58 in ♉ Taurus.
8 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 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.464° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 September 2069 at 10:56 in ♊ Gemini.
In 10 days on 15 September 2069 at 11:35 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.
