Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 22 July 2083 at 08:56.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♑ Capricorn
Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1948"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1948" and ∠1890".
Buck Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2083 after 1 day on 29 July 2083 at 01:00.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 29 July 2083 at 01:00
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 5 August 2083 at 12:38
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 13 August 2083 at 12:45
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 20 August 2083 at 13:46
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.
Lunation 1033 / 1986
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1033 of Meeus index or 1986 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.54 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 51 minutes. It is 1 hour and 29 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 7 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 56 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠232°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠232°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠266.6°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 26 July 2083 at 06:24 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 7 August 2083 at 03:44 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 367 869 km
The Moon is 367 869 km (228 583 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 508 km (251 350 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 16 July 2083 at 06:07 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 29 July 2083 at 04:55 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
25 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 26 July 2083 at 00:18 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.954°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.955° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 August 2083 at 19:08 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 29 July 2083 at 01:00 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.
