Moon is passing about ∠25° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
2 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 16 October 2077 at 23:07.
Hunter Moon after 11 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2077 after 11 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 ∠1798"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1798" and ∠1927".
Lunation 962 / 1915
The Moon is 2 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 962 of Meeus index or 1915 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 53 minutes and it is 47 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2077. 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 5 hours and 9 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 54 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠194.6°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠194.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠222.6°.
Moon after apogee
4 days since point of apogee on 15 October 2077 at 08:01 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 30 October 2077 at 10:09 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 398 668 km(247 721 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 605 km(222 827 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♏ Scorpio at 20:28 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 1 November 2077 at 18:57 in ♉ Taurus.
11 days since the last northern standstill on 8 October 2077 at 07:01 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.357° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.450° at the point of next southern standstill on 23 October 2077 at 01:59 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 11 days on 31 October 2077 at 10:36 in ♉ Taurus 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.
