Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Buck Moon after 8 days
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2079 after 8 days on 14 July 2079 at 03:24.
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 ∠1836"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1836" and ∠1887".
Lunation 983 / 1936
The Moon is 7 days young and navigating through the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 983 of Meeus index or 1936 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 2 minutes and it is 1 hour and 27 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 42 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 27 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠12°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠12° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠28.8°.
Moon before apogee
7 days since point of perigee on 28 June 2079 at 08:30 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 July 2079 at 01:15 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 390 389 km(242 576 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 829 km(252 170 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 24 June 2079 at 10:51 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 7 July 2079 at 02:33 in ♎ Libra.
6 days since the last northern standstill on 28 June 2079 at 21:27 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.935° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.936° at the point of next southern standstill on 12 July 2079 at 17:02 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 8 days on 14 July 2079 at 03:24 in ♑ Capricorn 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.
