Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 4 August 2077 at 09:46.
Sturgeon Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2077 after 26 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 ∠1973"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1892".
Lunation 959 / 1912
The Moon is 18 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 after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 6 August 2077 at 07:02 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 14 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 21 August 2077 at 22:11 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 363 317 km(225 755 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 14 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 040 km(252 302 mi).
Moon before ascending node
7 days after descending node on 30 July 2077 at 13:27 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 12 August 2077 at 04:14 in ♊ Gemini.
5 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 7 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 11 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.
