Full Moon on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 100%. The lunar cycle is 14 days old.
* The exact date and time of this Full Moon phase is on 14 September 2095 at 01:11 UTC.
The moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
The Full Moon these days is the Harvest of September 2095.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1956" and ∠1907".
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1183 of Meeus index or 2136 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 49 minutes and it is 1 hour and 49 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 5 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 58 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠142.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠168.3°.
11 days since point of apogee on 2 September 2095 at 11:07 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 14 September 2095 at 22:53 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 366 461 km (227 708 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 244 km (222 603 mi).
6 days after descending node on 7 September 2095 at 00:47 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 19 September 2095 at 14:10 in ♊ Gemini.
4 days since the last southern standstill on 9 September 2095 at 01:37 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-25.188° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠25.292° at the point of next northern standstill on 21 September 2095 at 14:29 in ♋ Cancer.
20 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♊ Gemini the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the lunar cycle.
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
