Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 1135 / 2088
At 18:29 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1135 of Meeus index or 2088 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.38 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 13 minutes. It is 59 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 31 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 38 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠349.5°
The true anomaly is ∠349.5°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠4.7°.
Moon before apogee
11 days after point of apogee on 30 September 2091 at 16:41 in ♉ Taurus. 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 13 October 2091 at 09:20 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 364 623 km
The Moon is 364 623 km (226 566 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 592 km (222 197 mi).
Moon after ascending node
2 days after ascending node on 9 October 2091 at 12:42 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 22 October 2091 at 03:28 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on 5 October 2091 at 08:31 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.007°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.095° at the point of next southern standstill on 17 October 2091 at 23:45 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
