Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
Sturgeon Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2077 after 15 days on 4 August 2077 at 09:46.
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 ∠1830" and ∠1888".
New lunation 958 / 1911
At 12:55 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 958 of Meeus index or lunation 1911 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 46 minutes. It is 1 hour and 51 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 58 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 11 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠80.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠80.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠115.1°.
Moon before apogee
9 days since point of perigee on 9 July 2077 at 14:18 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 25 July 2077 at 07:09 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 391 639 km(243 353 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 036 km(251 678 mi).
Moon after ascending node
3 days after ascending node on 16 July 2077 at 02:42 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 30 July 2077 at 13:27 in ♏ Scorpio.
1 day since the last northern standstill on 18 July 2077 at 14:18 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.808° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 13 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.863° at the point of next southern standstill on 2 August 2077 at 02:04 in ♑ Capricorn.
