Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1036 / 1989
At 10:23 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1036 of Meeus index or 1989 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.41 days
29 days, 9 hours and 52 minutes is the length of new lunation 1036. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2083. It is 18 minutes shorter than next lunation 1037 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 52 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 17 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠325°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠325°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠343.6°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
9 days after point of apogee on 1 October 2083 at 17:48 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 13 October 2083 at 13:59 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 370 808 km
Moon is 370 808 km (230 409 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 2 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 362 926 km (225 512 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after its descending node on 6 October 2083 at 02:37 in ♌ Leo, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 7 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 18 October 2083 at 19:32 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
19 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
9 days after previous North standstill on 2 October 2083 at 11:05 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠26.664°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-26.557° in the next southern standstill on 15 October 2083 at 18:28 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
