Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 2 days on 2 October 2077 at 01:20.
Hunter Moon before 2 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2077 after 26 days on 31 October 2077 at 10:36.
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 ∠1951"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1951" and ∠1919".
Lunation 961 / 1914
The Moon is 17 days old and navigating from the middle to the last 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 after perigee
2 days since point of perigee on 1 October 2077 at 22:59 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 15 October 2077 at 08:01 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 367 454 km(228 325 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 478 km(252 574 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 22 September 2077 at 17:43 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 5 October 2077 at 09:50 in ♉ Taurus.
8 days since the last southern standstill on 25 September 2077 at 19:33 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.269° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.357° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 October 2077 at 07:01 in ♋ Cancer.
In 12 days on 16 October 2077 at 23:07 in ♎ Libra 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.
