Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 12 July 2092 at 09:54.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♑ Capricorn
Moon is passing about ∠5° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1962"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.9% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1962" and ∠1888".
Buck Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2092 after 1 day on 19 July 2092 at 00:24.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 19 July 2092 at 00:24
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 26 July 2092 at 07:31
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 3 August 2092 at 09:54
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 10 August 2092 at 15:18
Moderate tide
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.
Lunation 1144 / 2097
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1144 of Meeus index or 2097 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.57 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 44 minutes. It is 1 hour and 24 minutes longer 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°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 3 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠215.3°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠215.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠246.7°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 01:42. It is 15 days after previous apogee on 1 July 2092 at 10:09 in ♊ Gemini. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 11 days, until point of next apogee on 29 July 2092 at 00:58 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 361 975 km
This perigee Moon is 361 975 km (224 921 mi) away from Earth. It is 533 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 8 381 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 7 July 2092 at 07:36 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 20 July 2092 at 04:19 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
10 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon at southern standstill
At 20:34 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-20.092°. Over the next 14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠20.082° at the point of next standstill in ♋ Cancer on 31 July 2092 at 20:14.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 19 July 2092 at 00:24 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
