Crescent ♎ Libra
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 19 September 2047 at 18:31.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1952" and ∠1911".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2047 after 13 days on 3 October 2047 at 23:42.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 1 day young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 590 of Meeus index or 1543 from Brown series.
Length of current 590 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 57 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2047. It is 34 minutes shorter than next lunation 591 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 48 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 22 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠329.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠346.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
10 days after point of apogee on 9 September 2047 at 17:06 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next perigee on 21 September 2047 at 15:28 in ♎ Libra.
Moon is 367 171 km (228 149 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next day until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 361 859 km (224 849 mi).
6 days after its descending node on 14 September 2047 at 10:02 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 27 September 2047 at 01:32 in ♑ Capricorn.
20 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
8 days after previous North standstill on 12 September 2047 at 11:14 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠25.055°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-24.945° in the next southern standstill on 25 September 2047 at 10:00 in ♐ Sagittarius.
After 13 days on 3 October 2047 at 23:42 in ♈ Aries, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
