Moon phase and lunation details
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 7 August 2093 at 00:23.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon in ♈ Aries
Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1875"
Lunar disc appears visually 1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1875" and ∠1894".
Sturgeon Moon before 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2093 after 24 days on 5 September 2093 at 08:28.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 13 August 2093 at 23:23
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 22 August 2093 at 03:53
- First Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 29 August 2093 at 16:58
- Full Moon in Pisces ♓ on 5 September 2093 at 08:28
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Lunation 1157 / 2110
The Moon is 19 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1157 of Meeus index or 2110 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.64 days
Length of current 1157 lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 18 minutes. 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 perigee
5 days after point of perigee on 6 August 2093 at 03:50 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 18 August 2093 at 17:01 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 382 227 km
Moon is 382 227 km (237 505 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 7 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 778 km (252 139 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after its descending node on 5 August 2093 at 17:27 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 7 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 19 August 2093 at 07:10 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
19 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
6 days after previous South standstill on 4 August 2093 at 19:32 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-21.651°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠21.668° in the next northern standstill on 18 August 2093 at 03:18 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 10 days
After 10 days on 22 August 2093 at 03:53 in ♌ Leo, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
