The sky at that moment

2nd decan of Leo (13.1°), the Sagittarius third of the sign, traditionally ruled by Jupiter.

The Moon makes no major aspect to a planet within 5° at that moment.

Nineteen years earlier, on Friday 2 February 2007 (Sydney), the Full Moon fell at 13.0° Leo, 0.1° from this one: the Moon's phases come back to almost the same dates every 19 years.

Seeing it from Australia

From Australia this Full Moon looks upside down next to photos taken in the Northern Hemisphere: the dark plains that make the face sit the other way up, and it rises in the east as the Sun sets.

Where this time comes from

A lunation is the instant the Sun-Moon angle crosses 0° (New Moon) or 180° (Full Moon), found by scanning the real ephemeris hourly and bisecting to the exact minute. The same engine drives the full moon calendar.
