Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 15 September 2082 at 08:29.
Hunter Moon after 16 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2082 after 16 days on 6 October 2082 at 20:48.
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 ∠1927"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1927" and ∠1911".
Lunation 1022 / 1975
The Moon is 27 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1022 of Meeus index or 1975 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 46 minutes and it is 1 minute shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2082. 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 58 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 11 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠323.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠323.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠342.2°.
Moon before perigee
9 days since point of apogee on 11 September 2082 at 03:35 in ♉ Taurus the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 23 September 2082 at 11:21 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 371 997 km(231 148 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 905 km(223 013 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♌ Leo at 04:04 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 12 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 2 October 2082 at 22:05 in ♒ Aquarius.
4 days since the last northern standstill on 15 September 2082 at 12:03 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.890° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.825° at the point of next southern standstill on 28 September 2082 at 04:25 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 1 day on 22 September 2082 at 10:04 in ♍ Virgo 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.
