Moon is passing first ∠3° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector.
It is Wolf Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Wolf of January 2037.
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 ∠1928"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1928" and ∠1951".
Lunation 457 / 1410
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 457 of Meeus index or 1410 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 1 minute and it is 1 hour and 20 minutes shorter 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 16 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 47 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠113°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠113° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠146.7°.
Moon before perigee
9 days since point of apogee on 23 December 2036 at 01:08 in ♓ Pisces 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 3 January 2037 at 21:29 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 371 728 km(230 981 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 542 km(224 652 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 21 December 2036 at 02:03 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 3 January 2037 at 20:54 in ♌ Leo.
13 days since the last southern standstill on 18 December 2036 at 19:32 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.597° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠20.593° at the point of next northern standstill on 2 January 2037 at 00:56 in ♋ Cancer.
