Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1827" and ∠1909".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2096 after 15 days on 2 October 2096 at 01:24.
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
At 15:10 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1196 of Meeus index or 2149 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 18 minutes. It is 2 hours and 49 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the 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 2 hours and 34 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 29 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly is ∠110.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠143.3°.
10 days after point of perigee on 6 September 2096 at 10:00 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 22 September 2096 at 03:15 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 392 378 km (243 812 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 898 km (251 592 mi).
8 days after ascending node on 7 September 2096 at 18:11 in ♉ Taurus. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 21 September 2096 at 09:31 in ♏ Scorpio.
8 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
5 days since the previous standstill on 10 September 2096 at 21:55 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠26.671°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-26.795° at the point of next southern standstill on 25 September 2096 at 05:26 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
