Spring tide
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.
Lunation 937 / 1890
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 937 of Meeus index or 1890 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.49 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 52 minutes. It is 24 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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 52 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 17 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠287.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠287.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠316.5°.
Moon before perigee
7 days after point of perigee on 15 October 2075 at 14:24 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 6 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 30 October 2075 at 10:53 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 385 889 km
The Moon is 385 889 km (239 780 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 6 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 463 km (251 322 mi).
Moon before ascending node
7 days after descending node on 15 October 2075 at 20:11 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 29 October 2075 at 07:44 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
21 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on 16 October 2075 at 01:17 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.206°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.331° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 October 2075 at 16:50 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
