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 1107 / 2060
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1107 of Meeus index or 2060 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.28 days
Length of current 1107 lunation is 29 days, 6 hours and 40 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2089. It is 50 minutes shorter than next lunation 1108 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 6 hours and 4 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠348.5°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠348.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠3.5°. 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 apogee
13 days after point of perigee on 8 July 2089 at 18:12 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 23 July 2089 at 06:57 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 405 271 km
Moon is 405 271 km (251 824 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next day until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 372 km (252 508 mi).
Moon before descending node
8 days after its ascending node on 13 July 2089 at 23:07 in ♎ Libra, 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 28 July 2089 at 12:48 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
8 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
2 days after previous South standstill on 19 July 2089 at 19:41 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.541°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.449° in the next northern standstill on 3 August 2089 at 05:21 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.
