Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♓ Pisces later.
It is Sturgeon Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Sturgeon of August 2082.
Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1814"
Lunar disc appears visually 4.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1814" and ∠1893".
Lunation 1021 / 1974
The Moon is 15 days old and navigating through the middle 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 apogee
10 days since point of perigee on 29 July 2082 at 23:55 in ♍ Virgo the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 August 2082 at 10:53 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 395 221 km(245 579 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 704 km(251 471 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♒ Aquarius at 10:22 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 14 days until Moon's next descending node later on 23 August 2082 at 18:04 in ♌ Leo.
4 days since the last southern standstill on 4 August 2082 at 16:48 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.934° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.949° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 August 2082 at 03:43 in ♊ Gemini.
At 10:22 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
