Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1913" and ∠1923".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2037 after 11 days on 24 October 2037 at 04:36.
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 4 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 467 of Meeus index or 1420 from Brown series.
Length of current 467 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 29 minutes. It is 2 hours and 6 minutes shorter than next lunation 468 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 15 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 54 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠9.6°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠26.3°. 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°).
3 days after point of perigee on 8 October 2037 at 13:04 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 21 October 2037 at 07:33 in ♓ Pisces.
Moon is 374 626 km (232 782 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 8 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 008 km (252 282 mi).
8 days after its ascending node on 3 October 2037 at 15:23 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 3 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 16 October 2037 at 03:12 in ♑ Capricorn.
8 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
9 days after previous North standstill on 2 October 2037 at 13:57 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠21.695°. Next 2 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-21.804° in the next southern standstill on 15 October 2037 at 02:33 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 11 days on 24 October 2037 at 04:36 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
