Moon is passing about ∠22° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
It is Buck Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Buck of July 2071.
Super spring tide
There is extremely high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is heavy, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment and the near perigee.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1887".
Lunation 884 / 1837
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 884 of Meeus index or 1837 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 36 minutes and it is 44 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2071. 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 6 hours and 8 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 minute longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠350.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠350.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠5.3°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 16:49 about 14 days since last perigee on 28 June 2071 at 08:00 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 14 days until point of next perigee on 26 July 2071 at 17:22 in ♋ Cancer.
This apogee Moon is 406 386 km(252 517 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's farthest apogee of 2071. It is 978 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 323 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
8 days after ascending node on 3 July 2071 at 14:17 in ♍ Virgo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 18 July 2071 at 04:18 in ♓ Pisces.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 10 July 2071 at 15:45 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.403° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.332° at the point of next northern standstill on 24 July 2071 at 19:33 in ♊ Gemini.
