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 phase is on at : .
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Slide horizontally to discover the moon phase on nearby dates.
Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Harvest of September 2087.
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 0.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1915" and ∠1907".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation -953 of Meeus index or from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is days, 1 hour and 1 minute and it is longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is equal to the mean synodic month length. It is %hours_to_shortest% and %minutes_to_shortest% longer than the 21st century's shortest and %hours_to_longest% and %minutes_to_longest% shorter than the 21st century's longest synodic months.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠0° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠0°.
42988 days since point of apogee on at : in &#; the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on at : in &#; .
The Moon is 374 228 km (232 534 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 0 km (0 mi).
42988 days after descending node on at : in &#; the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on at : in &#; .
42988 days since the last southern standstill on at : in &#; when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠° at the point of next northern standstill on at : in &#; .
42988 days since the beginning of this draconic month in &#; the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
