Lunar disc appears visually 3.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1834" and ∠1892".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2094 after 19 days on 26 August 2094 at 00:51.
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.
The Moon is 25 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1169 of Meeus index or 2122 from Brown series.
Length of current 1169 lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 1 minute. It is 55 minutes shorter than next lunation 1170 length.
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 16 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 47 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠141.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠167.4°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
8 days after point of perigee on 28 July 2094 at 16:14 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 6 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 12 August 2094 at 14:04 in ♌ Leo.
Moon is 390 838 km (242 855 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 6 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 544 km (252 615 mi).
11 days after its descending node on 25 July 2094 at 20:41 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 7 August 2094 at 16:45 in ♋ Cancer.

11 days after previous South standstill on 26 July 2094 at 04:07 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-23.317°. Next day the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠23.329° in the next northern standstill on 8 August 2094 at 02:07 in ♋ Cancer.
After 4 days on 11 August 2094 at 04:36 in ♌ Leo, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
