Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♉ Taurus tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♊ Gemini later.
2 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 2 days on 17 July 2082 at 22:58.
Sturgeon Moon after 19 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2082 after 19 days on 8 August 2082 at 14:33.
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 ∠1786"
Lunar disc appears visually 5.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1786" and ∠1888".
Lunation 1020 / 1973
The Moon is 24 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1020 of Meeus index or 1973 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 38 minutes and it is 1 hour and 14 minutes longer 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 6 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 3 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠265.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠265.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠298.1°.
Moon after apogee
2 days since point of apogee on 17 July 2082 at 16:24 in ♈ Aries the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 29 July 2082 at 23:55 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 401 435 km(249 440 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 9 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 196 km(228 786 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 13 July 2082 at 02:53 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 27 July 2082 at 09:04 in ♌ Leo.
12 days since the last southern standstill on 8 July 2082 at 10:27 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.861° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.898° at the point of next northern standstill on 22 July 2082 at 18:54 in ♊ Gemini.
In 5 days on 25 July 2082 at 15:54 in ♋ Cancer 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.
