Lunar disc appears visually 4.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1818" and ∠1894".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2097 after 9 days on 22 August 2097 at 23:52.
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 6 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1207 of Meeus index or 2160 from Brown series.
Length of current 1207 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 34 minutes. It is 2 hours and 38 minutes shorter than next lunation 1208 length.
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 10 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 59 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠26.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠47.4°. 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°).
7 days after point of perigee on 6 August 2097 at 01:35 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 18 August 2097 at 03:05 in ♑ Capricorn.

8 days after previous North standstill on 5 August 2097 at 00:09 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠27.559°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-27.633° in the next southern standstill on 18 August 2097 at 11:45 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 9 days on 22 August 2097 at 23:52 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
