The time it takes for the Moon to complete one revolution around the Earth in the sidereal sky, which was 7:43 minutes and 12 seconds on the 27th. The Earth's rotation is slowing down due to tidal forces, so if we use Universal Time (UT) based on the Earth's rotation, the Moon's motion appears to be accelerating. However, because the tides transfer angular momentum to the Moon, if we use the currently used ephemeris time (ET), the sidereal month becomes about 0.01 seconds longer per 100 years.

月が恒星天に対して地球の周囲を1周するのに要する時間で,27日7時 43分 12秒。潮汐力のために地球の自転は減速しており,地球の自転を基準にした世界時 UTを使うと,月の運動は見かけ上加速しているようにみえる。しかし,潮汐によって月に角運動量が受渡されるため,現在用いられている暦表時 ETを使うと,恒星月は 100年につき約 0.01秒長くなる。
