Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 27 February 2076 at 15:54.
Worm Moon after 17 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2076 after 17 days on 20 March 2076 at 16:37.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1969"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1969" and ∠1935".
Lunation 941 / 1894
The Moon is 27 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 941 of Meeus index or 1894 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 23 minutes and it is longer than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2076. 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 2 hours and 21 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 48 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠9.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠9.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠26.4°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 17:20 about 15 days since last apogee on 17 February 2076 at 01:30 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 12 days until point of next apogee on 15 March 2076 at 16:37 in ♋ Cancer.
This perigee Moon is 360 806 km(224 194 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 702 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 9 550 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
3 days after descending node on 29 February 2076 at 09:23 in ♑ Capricorn the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 13 March 2076 at 06:34 in ♋ Cancer.
2 days since the last southern standstill on 29 February 2076 at 23:45 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.705° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.806° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 March 2076 at 02:15 in ♋ Cancer.
In 1 day on 5 March 2076 at 07:24 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
