Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 20 July 2077 at 00:41.
Sturgeon Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2077 after 13 days on 4 August 2077 at 09:46.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1795"
Lunar disc appears visually 5.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1795" and ∠1889".
Lunation 959 / 1912
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 959 of Meeus index or 1912 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 37 minutes and it is 1 hour and 58 minutes shorter than the upcoming 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 53 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 10 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠115.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠115.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠146°.
Moon before apogee
11 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 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 25 July 2077 at 07:09 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 399 407 km(248 180 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 3 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 036 km(251 678 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 16 July 2077 at 02:42 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 30 July 2077 at 13:27 in ♏ Scorpio.
2 days 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 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.863° at the point of next southern standstill on 2 August 2077 at 02:04 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 13 days on 4 August 2077 at 09:46 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
