Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1964" and ∠1898".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2094 after 1 day on 26 August 2094 at 00:51.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1170 of Meeus index or 2123 from Brown series.
Length of current 1170 lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 55 minutes. It is 18 minutes shorter than next lunation 1171 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 11 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 52 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠167.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠190.4°. 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°).
11 days after point of apogee on 12 August 2094 at 14:04 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 26 August 2094 at 01:39 in ♓ Pisces.
Moon is 364 874 km (226 722 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 356 868 km (221 747 mi).
2 days after its descending node on 22 August 2094 at 04:41 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 10 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 3 September 2094 at 19:00 in ♊ Gemini.
16 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
1 day after previous South standstill on 22 August 2094 at 13:55 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-23.409°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠23.478° in the next northern standstill on 4 September 2094 at 07:14 in ♋ Cancer.
After 1 day on 26 August 2094 at 00:51 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
