Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
It is Sturgeon Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Sturgeon of August 2076.
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1973"
Lunar disc appears visually 4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1895".
Lunation 947 / 1900
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 947 of Meeus index or 1900 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 38 minutes and it is 6 minutes shorter than the upcoming 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 54 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 9 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠170.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠170.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠193.2°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 15:29 about 13 days since last apogee on 1 August 2076 at 00:12 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next apogee on 28 August 2076 at 02:51 in ♌ Leo.
This perigee Moon is 356 915 km(221 777 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2076. It is 5 593 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 490 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
3 days after descending node on 10 August 2076 at 19:54 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 23 August 2076 at 10:33 in ♊ Gemini.
2 days since the last southern standstill on 11 August 2076 at 22:59 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-24.400° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠24.455° at the point of next northern standstill on 24 August 2076 at 20:21 in ♋ Cancer.
