Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♎ Libra
Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♏ Scorpio later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1964" and ∠1924".
Hunter Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2099 after 14 days on 29 October 2099 at 04:20.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 20 October 2099 at 23:27
- Full Moon in Taurus ♉ on 29 October 2099 at 04:20
- Last Quarter in Leo ♌ on 5 November 2099 at 19:42

Spring tide
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.
New lunation 1234 / 2187
At 01:32 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1234 of Meeus index or 2187 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.41 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 57 minutes. It is 1 hour and 43 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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 47 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 22 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠10.7°
The true anomaly is ∠10.7°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠27.7°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 13 October 2099 at 10:26 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 26 October 2099 at 03:06 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 364 975 km
The Moon is 364 975 km (226 785 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 11 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 825 km (252 168 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after descending node on 12 October 2099 at 10:42 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 25 October 2099 at 20:01 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
15 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
8 days since the previous standstill on 6 October 2099 at 05:56 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.657°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 4 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.609° at the point of next southern standstill on 18 October 2099 at 19:06 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
