Worm Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2098 after 13 days on 17 March 2098 at 07:43.
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 ∠1802" and ∠1935".
New lunation 1214 / 2167
At 04:02 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1214 of Meeus index or lunation 2167 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 45 minutes. It is 3 hours 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 1 minute longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 2 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠225.5°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠225.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠260.4°.
Moon after apogee
4 days since point of apogee on 27 February 2098 at 00:05 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 14 March 2098 at 23:15 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 397 689 km(247 112 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 363 603 km(225 932 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 19 February 2098 at 21:18 in ♎ Libra 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 6 March 2098 at 10:58 in ♈ Aries.
6 days since the last southern standstill on 25 February 2098 at 10:08 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.136° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.231° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 March 2098 at 15:13 in ♊ Gemini.
