Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 17 September 2077 at 05:53.
Hunter Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2077 after 13 days on 2 October 2077 at 01:20.
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 ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1910".
Lunation 961 / 1914
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 961 of Meeus index or 1914 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 14 minutes and it is 39 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 30 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 33 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠171°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠171° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠194.6°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 06:17 about 14 days since last perigee on 3 September 2077 at 12:31 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 13 days until point of next perigee on 1 October 2077 at 22:59 in ♈ Aries.
This apogee Moon is 406 604 km(252 652 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's farthest apogee of 2077. It is 1 196 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 105 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 8 September 2077 at 05:17 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 22 September 2077 at 17:43 in ♏ Scorpio.
7 days since the last northern standstill on 11 September 2077 at 00:42 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.130° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.269° at the point of next southern standstill on 25 September 2077 at 19:33 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 13 days on 2 October 2077 at 01:20 in ♈ Aries 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.
