Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 10 August 2092 at 15:18.
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 ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1920"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1920" and ∠1895".
Sturgeon Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2092 after 1 day on 17 August 2092 at 09:22.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 17 August 2092 at 09:22
- Last Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 25 August 2092 at 00:32
- New Moon in Virgo ♍ on 1 September 2092 at 22:14
- First Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 8 September 2092 at 20:15
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 1145 / 2098
The Moon is 14 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1145 of Meeus index or 2098 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.51 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 20 minutes. It is 1 hour and 19 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 24 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 45 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠246.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠246.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠282.2°.
Moon after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 13 August 2092 at 17:47 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 25 August 2092 at 18:58 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 373 316 km
The Moon is 373 316 km (231 968 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 285 km (251 211 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♒ Aquarius at 14:00 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 14 days later on 30 August 2092 at 21:39 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the middle to the last part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 14 August 2092 at 05:05 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.084°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.103° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 August 2092 at 04:01 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 17 August 2092 at 09:22 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.
