Wolf Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2033 after 14 days on 15 January 2033 at 13:07.
Spring tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1916" and ∠1951".
New lunation 408 / 1361
At 10:17 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 408 of Meeus index or lunation 1361 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 43 minutes. It is 1 hour and 19 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 1 minute shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 8 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠315.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠315.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠336.6°.
Moon before perigee
9 days since point of apogee on 23 December 2032 at 11:34 in ♍ Virgo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 4 January 2033 at 05:24 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 374 163 km(232 494 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 365 354 km(227 020 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 26 December 2032 at 21:36 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 7 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 8 January 2033 at 18:31 in ♈ Aries.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 31 December 2032 at 03:26 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.115° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.075° at the point of next northern standstill on 13 January 2033 at 00:33 in ♊ Gemini.
