Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Buck Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2072 after 14 days on 30 July 2072 at 00:17.
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 ∠1944" and ∠1888".
New lunation 897 / 1850
At 17:56 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 897 of Meeus index or lunation 1850 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 25 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2072. It is 21 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 19 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 50 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠333.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠333.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠350.4°.
Moon before perigee
10 days since point of apogee on 5 July 2072 at 05:53 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 17 July 2072 at 07:53 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 368 739 km(229 124 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 898 km(224 252 mi).
Moon before ascending node
9 days after descending node on 5 July 2072 at 13:03 in ♓ Pisces 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 July 2072 at 20:41 in ♍ Virgo.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 14 July 2072 at 10:48 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.668° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.639° at the point of next southern standstill on 27 July 2072 at 08:30 in ♑ Capricorn.
