Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 25 July 2082 at 15:54.
Sturgeon Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2082 after 13 days on 8 August 2082 at 14:33.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1909"
Lunar disc appears visually 1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1909" and ∠1889".
Lunation 1021 / 1974
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1021 of Meeus index or 1974 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 24 minutes and it is 38 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 3 hours and 20 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 49 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠298.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠298.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠323.3°.
Moon before perigee
8 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 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 29 July 2082 at 23:55 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 375 573 km(233 370 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 3 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 196 km(228 786 mi).
Moon before descending node
13 days after ascending node on 13 July 2082 at 02:53 in ♒ Aquarius 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 27 July 2082 at 09:04 in ♌ Leo.
3 days since the last northern standstill on 22 July 2082 at 18:54 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.898° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.934° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 August 2082 at 16:48 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 13 days on 8 August 2082 at 14:33 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
