Moon is passing about ∠21° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 17 July 2082 at 22:58.
Sturgeon Moon after 17 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2082 after 17 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 ∠1818"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1818" and ∠1889".
Lunation 1020 / 1973
The Moon is 26 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
4 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 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 29 July 2082 at 23:55 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 394 356 km(245 041 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 7 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 196 km(228 786 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 13 July 2082 at 02:53 in ♒ Aquarius 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 27 July 2082 at 09:04 in ♌ Leo.
At 18:54 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠27.898°. Over the upcoming 13 days the lunar orbit is going to tilt southward to face maximum declination of ∠-27.934° at the point of next southern standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 4 August 2082 at 16:48.
In 3 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.
