Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
6 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 6 days on 6 September 2097 at 00:33.
Harvest Moon after 9 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2097 after 9 days on 21 September 2097 at 13:00.
Neap tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1781"
Lunar disc appears visually 6.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1781" and ∠1907".
Lunation 1208 / 2161
The Moon is 6 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1208 of Meeus index or 2161 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 12 minutes and it is 3 hours and 11 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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 33 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 37 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠47.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠47.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠76.4°.
Moon before apogee
9 days since point of perigee on 2 September 2097 at 23:07 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 September 2097 at 20:28 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is 402 409 km(250 045 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 346 km(251 249 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after descending node on 9 September 2097 at 17:26 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 24 September 2097 at 02:09 in ♉ Taurus.
11 days since the last northern standstill on 1 September 2097 at 07:23 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.741° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.835° at the point of next southern standstill on 14 September 2097 at 18:59 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 9 days on 21 September 2097 at 13:00 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
