Moon is passing about ∠5° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 11 August 2077 at 00:16.
Harvest Moon after 19 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2077 after 19 days on 2 September 2077 at 17:23.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1862"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1862" and ∠1895".
Lunation 959 / 1912
The Moon is 25 days old and navigating from the second to the final 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
8 days 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 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 21 August 2077 at 22:11 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 384 883 km(239 155 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 040 km(252 302 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 12 August 2077 at 04:14 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 26 August 2077 at 16:24 in ♏ Scorpio.
At 19:42 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠25.916°. Over the upcoming 14 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-26.035° at the point of next southern standstill in ♑ Capricorn on 29 August 2077 at 11:23.
In 4 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.
