Waning
Gibbous ♓ Pisces
Full Moon is the lunar phase on . Seen from Earth, illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is 100%. The 15 days old Moon is in ♒ Aquarius.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 17 August 2092 at 09:22 UTC.
Monday Mon

Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♓ Pisces later.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1897" and ∠1896".
The Full Moon this days is the Sturgeon of August 2092.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1145 of Meeus index or 2098 from Brown series.
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°).
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.
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°.
3 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 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 25 August 2092 at 18:58 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is 377 805 km (234 757 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 285 km (251 211 mi).
1 day after descending node on 16 August 2092 at 14:00 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 30 August 2092 at 21:39 in ♌ Leo.
13 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
3 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 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.103° at the point of next northern standstill on 28 August 2092 at 04:01 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
