Waning Gibbous on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 80% and getting smaller. The lunar cycle is 19 days old.
The moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 11 July 2090 at 17:02.
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2090 after 24 days on 10 August 2090 at 06:51.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1888".
The Moon is 19 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1119 of Meeus index or 2072 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 8 minutes and it is 28 minutes longer 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 36 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 33 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠310° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠331.5°.
Moon is at apogee at 18:12 about 15 days since last perigee on 30 June 2090 at 23:26 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next perigee on 28 July 2090 at 18:43 in ♌ Leo.
This apogee Moon is 404 895 km (251 590 mi) away from Earth. It is 513 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 1 814 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon is in descending node in ♓ Pisces at 21:11 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 30 July 2090 at 05:38 in ♍ Virgo.
6 days since the last southern standstill on 10 July 2090 at 07:05 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.430° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.374° at the point of next northern standstill on 24 July 2090 at 19:29 in ♊ Gemini.
13 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♍ Virgo the Moon is navigating from the middle to the last part of the lunar cycle.
In 10 days on 27 July 2090 at 01:19 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.
