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 1157 / 2110
At 12:36 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1157 of Meeus index or 2110 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.64 days
29 days, 15 hours and 18 minutes is the length of new lunation 1157. It is 55 minutes longer than next lunation 1158 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 34 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 29 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠190.3°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠190.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠215.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon after apogee
1 day after point of apogee on 22 July 2093 at 09:07 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 13 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 6 August 2093 at 03:50 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 405 076 km
Moon is 405 076 km (251 703 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 13 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 358 354 km (222 671 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 01:17 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 13 days to meet descending node on 5 August 2093 at 17:27 in ♑ Capricorn.
New draconic month
At 01:17 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day after previous North standstill on 21 July 2093 at 21:21 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠21.635°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-21.651° in the next southern standstill on 4 August 2093 at 19:32 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
