Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 12 August 2085 at 09:00.
Harvest Moon after 17 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2085 after 17 days on 4 September 2085 at 00:41.
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 ∠1784"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1784" and ∠1896".
Lunation 1058 / 2011
The Moon is 26 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1058 of Meeus index or 2011 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 28 minutes and it is 28 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 44 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 19 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠156.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠156.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠180.2°.
Moon before apogee
11 days since point of perigee on 6 August 2085 at 03:30 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 20 August 2085 at 08:35 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 401 828 km(249 684 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 622 km(252 663 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 15 August 2085 at 13:51 in ♊ Gemini the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 12 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 30 August 2085 at 02:34 in ♐ Sagittarius.
2 days since the last northern standstill on 14 August 2085 at 14:33 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠23.995° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-23.865° at the point of next southern standstill on 29 August 2085 at 08:12 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 2 days on 20 August 2085 at 09:10 in ♌ Leo 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.
