Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1908"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.9% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1908" and ∠1890".
It is Buck Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Buck of July 2083.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- 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
- Full Moon in Pisces ♓ on 27 August 2083 at 11:00
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.
Lunation 1033 / 1986
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through 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
3 days 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 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 7 August 2083 at 03:44 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 375 707 km
The Moon is 375 707 km (233 454 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 508 km (251 350 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♒ Aquarius at 04:55 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 12 August 2083 at 13:29 in ♌ Leo.
New draconic month
At 04:55 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days 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 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.955° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 August 2083 at 19:08 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
