![]() ![]() The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment. Previous standstill | Next standstill Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy Previous | Current draconic month | Next Moon after southern standstillģ days since the previous standstill on 30 July 2023 at 11:13 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.924°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.981° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 August 2023 at 07:39 in ♋ Cancer. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 7 August 2023 at 02:46 in ♈ Aries.Ģ2 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle. Moon before ascending nodeħ days after descending node on 25 July 2023 at 15:05 in ♎ Libra. It is 5 197 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 045 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century. This perigee Moon is 357 311 km ( 222 023 mi) away from Earth. ![]() Previous apogee | Next apogee Distance to Moon 357 311 km Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 13 days, until point of next apogee on 16 August 2023 at 11:55 in ♌ Leo. It is 12 days after previous apogee on 20 July 2023 at 06:56 in ♌ Leo. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠179.2°. It is 4 hours and 41 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.Īt the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠155.7°. The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 22 minutes longer than the mean synodic month 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°). It is 56 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 6 minutes. Previous | Current lunation | Next Synodic month length 29.63 days This is lunation 291 of Meeus index or 1244 from Brown series. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment. ![]() There is high Full Moon ocean tide today. Waxing means that the Moon is getting bigger. The name Gibbous comes from the Moon's shape, which is less than a Full Moon but more extensive than the Third Quarter's semicircle shape. Full Moon in Pisces ♓ after 28 days on 31 August 2023 at 01:35 Spring tide What is Waxing Gibbous Moon Phase The Waxing Gibbous is an intermediate phase of the Moon that starts right after the First Quarter when the illumination is 50.First Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ after 21 days on 24 August 2023 at 09:57.New Moon in Leo ♌ after 13 days on 16 August 2023 at 09:38.Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ after 5 days on 8 August 2023 at 10:28. ![]()
