Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 17 July 2084 at 17:01 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Buck of July 2084.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1888".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1045 of Meeus index or 1998 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 26 minutes and it is 45 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2084. 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 42 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 21 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠180.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠203.8°.
Moon is at perigee at 06:12 about 14 days since last apogee on 3 July 2084 at 00:38 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next apogee on 30 July 2084 at 05:23 in ♋ Cancer.
This perigee Moon is 357 472 km (222 123 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 036 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 12 884 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon is in ascending node in ♑ Capricorn at 07:42 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next descending node later on 31 July 2084 at 00:13 in ♋ Cancer.
2 days since the last southern standstill on 15 July 2084 at 08:06 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.650° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.646° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 July 2084 at 10:54 in ♊ Gemini.
At 07:42 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.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
