lunation details

2 days after Full Moon

Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon
before 2 days on 28 August 2007 at 10:35.

Moonrise and moonset

Moon rises in the evening and sets in the
morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is
high in the sky after midnight.

Moon in Aries
Moon is passing about ∠5° of Aries tropical
zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter

∠ 1959"
Lunar disc appears visually 3% wider than solar
disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters
are ∠1959" and ∠1901".

Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of
September 2007 after 27 days on

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.

Lunation 94 / 1047
The Moon is 17 days old. Earth's natural satellite
is moving from the middle to the last part of
current synodic month. This is lunation 94 of
Meeus index or 1047 from Brown series.

$ Previous | Current | Next %

Synodic month length 29.57

days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours
and 42 minutes. It is 2 hours and 34 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 longer than

mean
The length of the current synodic month is
58 minutes longer than the mean synodic month
length. It is 6 hours and 5 minutes shorter
compared to 21st century's longest synodic
month length.

Lunar orbit position on

30 August 2007
Thursday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠ 97.3°

At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true
anomaly is ∠97.3°. At the beginning of next
synodic month the true anomaly is going to be
∠131.4°.

Moon before apogee

11 days after point of apogee on
19 August 2007 at 03:28 in Scorpio. The
lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is
moving towards the Earth. It will keep this
direction over the next day, until the Moon
reaches the point of next perigee on
31 August 2007 at 00:12 in Aries.

$ Previous apogee | Next perigee %

Distance to Moon
365 909 km
The Moon is 365 909 km (227 365 mi) away
from Earth and getting closer over the next day
until the point perigee when Earth-Moon
distance is going to be 364 174 km
(226 287 mi).

Moon after ascending node

1 day after ascending node on 28 August 2007
at 14:27 in Aquarius. The Moon is located
north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days,
until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South
in descending node on 10 September 2007 at
14:49 in Virgo.

$ Previous node | Next node %

Draconic month
1 day since the beginning of current draconic
month in Aquarius, the Moon is navigating
from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.

Moon before northern

standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on
23 August 2007 at 08:02 in Sagittarius when
the Moon has reached South declination of
∠-28.377°, the lunar orbit is extending
northward over the next 5 days to face
maximum declination of ∠28.380° at the point of
next northern standstill on 5 September 2007 at
04:28 in Gemini.

$ Previous standstill | Next standstill %

Syzygy in 12 days
In 12 days on 11 September 2007 at 12:44 in
Virgo the Moon is going to be in a New
Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and
thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
alignment.
