Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
It is Pink Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Pink of April 2015.
Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1781"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1781" and ∠1918".
Lunation 188 / 1141
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 188 of Meeus index or 1141 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 21 minutes and it is 5 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 23 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 46 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠9.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠9.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠27.1°.
Moon after apogee
2 days since point of apogee on 1 April 2015 at 12:59 in ♍ Virgo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 17 April 2015 at 03:53 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 402 435 km(250 062 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 026 km(224 331 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♎ Libra at 03:17 crossing the ecliptic from South to North. Lunar position remains north of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next descending node later on 17 April 2015 at 13:07 in ♈ Aries.
8 days since the last northern standstill on 26 March 2015 at 14:29 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.241° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.250° at the point of next southern standstill on 10 April 2015 at 07:46 in ♐ Sagittarius.
At 03:17 in the point ot ascending node the Moon is completing the last draconic month and is entering a new one while the lunar orbit is crossing the ecliptic from South to North.
