Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is entering ♌ Leo
Moon is passing first ∠1° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1889".
Sturgeon Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2093 after 14 days on 7 August 2093 at 00:23.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 31 July 2093 at 09:13
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 7 August 2093 at 00:23
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 13 August 2093 at 23:23

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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 18 minutes. It is 55 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 2 hours and 34 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 29 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠190.3°
The true anomaly is ∠190.3°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠215.5°.
Moon after apogee
1 day after point of apogee on 22 July 2093 at 09:07 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 13 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 6 August 2093 at 03:50 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 405 076 km
The Moon is 405 076 km (251 703 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 13 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 354 km (222 671 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♋ Cancer at 01:17 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 5 August 2093 at 17:27 in ♑ Capricorn.
New draconic month
At 01:17 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after northern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 21 July 2093 at 21:21 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠21.635°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-21.651° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 August 2093 at 19:32 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.
