Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 2 September 2077 at 17:23.
Harvest Moon before 5 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2077 after 23 days on 2 October 2077 at 01:20.
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 ∠1920"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1920" and ∠1905".
Lunation 960 / 1913
The Moon is 21 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 960 of Meeus index or 1913 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 35 minutes and it is 1 hour and 39 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 2 hours and 51 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 12 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠146°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠146° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠171°.
Moon after perigee
4 days since point of perigee on 3 September 2077 at 12:31 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 9 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 18 September 2077 at 06:17 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 373 340 km(231 983 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 604 km(252 652 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♊ Gemini at 05:17 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 14 days until Moon's next descending node later on 22 September 2077 at 17:43 in ♏ Scorpio.
10 days since the last southern standstill on 29 August 2077 at 11:23 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.035° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.130° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 September 2077 at 00:42 in ♋ Cancer.
At 05:17 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
In 8 days on 17 September 2077 at 05:53 in ♍ Virgo 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.
