Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October after 13 days on 18 October 2013 at 23:38.
Moon is passing about ∠18° of Libra tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1880" and ∠1919".
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.
At 00:34 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 170 of Meeus index or 1123 from Brown series.
29 days, 12 hours and 15 minutes is the length of new lunation 170. It is 43 minutes longer than next lunation 171.
Length of current synodic month is 29 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 40 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠285.3°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly is ∠315°. The length of upcoming synodic months decreases since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0°or∠360°).
7 days after point of apogee on 27 September 2013 at 18:17, lunar orbit gets closer while the Moon moves inward the Earth. It keeps this direction for next 5 days until it gets to the point of perigee on 10 October 2013 at 23:06.
Moon is 381 326 km (236 945 mi) away from Earth on this date. At previous apogee point before 7 days, distance is 404 309 km (251 226 mi). Moon moves closer next 5 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance reaches 369 813 km (229 791 mi).
12 days after its descending node on 22 September 2013 at 13:48, the Moon follows the southern part of its orbit for the next 1 day untill it crosses the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 6 October 2013 at 22:08.
25 days after its beginning, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of current draconic month.
9 days after previous North standstill on 26 September 2013 at 01:03, when Moon reaches northern declination of ∠19.599°, lunar orbit moves southward for the next 4 days to face South declination of ∠-19.537° in the next southern standstill on 9 October 2013 at 23:52.
The Moon is in New Moon conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
