Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.7% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1939" and ∠1887".
The Full Moon this days is the Buck of July 2074.
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.
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 921 of Meeus index or 1874 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 28 minutes. It is 1 hour and 36 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 44 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 19 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠218.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠250.9°.
1 day after point of perigee on 6 July 2074 at 14:26 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 18 July 2074 at 12:55 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 369 709 km (229 727 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 870 km (251 575 mi).
11 days after ascending node on 26 June 2074 at 23:07 in ♋ Cancer. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 9 July 2074 at 19:46 in ♑ Capricorn.
11 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
At 08:12 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-21.006°. Over the next 14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠21.003° at the point of next standstill in ♋ Cancer on 22 July 2074 at 12:38.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
