Harvest Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2069 after 15 days on 30 September 2069 at 18:09.
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1799" and ∠1909".
New lunation 862 / 1815
At 11:35 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 862 of Meeus index or lunation 1815 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 28 minutes. It is 2 hours and 6 minutes shorter than the next 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 3 hours and 44 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 19 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠133.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠133.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠161.2°.
Moon before apogee
11 days 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 4 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 19 September 2069 at 17:06 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 398 495 km(247 613 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 575 km(252 013 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after descending node on 5 September 2069 at 05:58 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 18 September 2069 at 23:24 in ♎ Libra.
7 days since the last northern standstill on 8 September 2069 at 10:56 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.464° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.361° at the point of next southern standstill on 22 September 2069 at 21:04 in ♐ Sagittarius.
