Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.
It is Harvest Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Harvest of September 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 ∠1955"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1955" and ∠1908".
Lunation 948 / 1901
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 948 of Meeus index or 1901 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 44 minutes and it is 21 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2076. 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 59 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 3 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠193.2°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠193.2° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠219.7°.
Moon after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 12 September 2076 at 01:19 in ♓ Pisces 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 24 September 2076 at 11:16 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 366 550 km(227 764 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 798 km(252 151 mi).
Moon before ascending node
6 days after descending node on 6 September 2076 at 23:25 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 5 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 19 September 2076 at 11:58 in ♊ Gemini.
5 days since the last southern standstill on 8 September 2076 at 07:25 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-24.585° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠24.689° at the point of next northern standstill on 21 September 2076 at 02:19 in ♋ Cancer.
