Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♓ Pisces later.
1 day after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 4 August 2077 at 09:46.
Sturgeon Moon before 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2077 after 28 days on 2 September 2077 at 17:23.
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 ∠1958"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1958" and ∠1892".
Lunation 959 / 1912
The Moon is 16 days old and navigating from the middle to the last 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 perigee
11 days since point of apogee on 25 July 2077 at 07:09 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 6 August 2077 at 07:02 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 366 134 km(227 505 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 718 km(224 761 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 30 July 2077 at 13:27 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 12 August 2077 at 04:14 in ♊ Gemini.
3 days since the last southern standstill on 2 August 2077 at 02:04 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.863° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.916° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 August 2077 at 19:42 in ♋ Cancer.
In 13 days on 18 August 2077 at 14:17 in ♌ Leo the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
