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 1083 / 2036
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1083 of Meeus index or 2036 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.45 days
Length of current 1083 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 48 minutes. It is 2 hours and 51 minutes shorter than next lunation 1084 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 56 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 13 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠62.7°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠62.7°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠95.4°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before perigee
7 days after point of apogee on 6 August 2087 at 16:39 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 19 August 2087 at 10:24 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 380 932 km
Moon is 380 932 km (236 700 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 4 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 369 169 km (229 391 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after its ascending node on 7 August 2087 at 01:46 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 20 August 2087 at 13:00 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
7 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
5 days after previous South standstill on 9 August 2087 at 10:48 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-20.587°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠20.473° in the next northern standstill on 22 August 2087 at 16:14 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
