Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 10 August 2090 at 06:51.
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.
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1894".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2090 after 26 days on 8 September 2090 at 22:44.
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.
The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1120 of Meeus index or 2073 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 40 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2090. It is 24 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the 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 5 hours and 4 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 5 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠331.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠348.5°.
Moon is at apogee at 08:23. It is 15 days after previous perigee on 28 July 2090 at 18:43 in ♌ Leo. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 12 days, until point of next perigee on 26 August 2090 at 01:13 in ♍ Virgo.
This apogee Moon is 405 821 km (252 165 mi) away from Earth. It is 413 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 888 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon is in descending node in ♓ Pisces at 01:17 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 13 days later on 26 August 2090 at 13:58 in ♍ Virgo.
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
6 days since the previous standstill on 6 August 2090 at 13:57 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.326°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.266° at the point of next northern standstill on 21 August 2090 at 05:49 in ♋ Cancer.
In 11 days on 25 August 2090 at 08:58 in ♍ Virgo 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.
