Spring tide
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.
Lunation 1184 / 2137
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1184 of Meeus index or 2137 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.73 days
Length of current 1184 lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 38 minutes. It is 44 minutes shorter than next lunation 1185 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 54 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 9 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠168.3°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠168.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠192.1°. 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 in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 09:25, this is 13 days after last apogee on 29 September 2095 at 20:21 in ♎ Libra. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 13 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 26 October 2095 at 21:48 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 356 686 km
This perigee Moon is 356 686 km (221 634 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2095. It is 5 822 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 261 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before ascending node
9 days after its descending node on 4 October 2095 at 02:06 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 16 October 2095 at 18:35 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
23 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
7 days after previous South standstill on 6 October 2095 at 09:24 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-25.437°. Next 5 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠25.525° in the next northern standstill on 18 October 2095 at 21:15 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
