Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 19 January 2007 at 04:01.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1950" and ∠1950".
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2007 after 11 days on 2 February 2007 at 05:45.
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.
The Moon is 2 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 87 of Meeus index or 1040 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 14 minutes. It is 1 hour and 46 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 30 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 39 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠308.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠331.4°.
10 days after point of apogee on 10 January 2007 at 16:26 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 22 January 2007 at 12:24 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 367 588 km (228 409 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 366 929 km (227 999 mi).
12 days after descending node on 8 January 2007 at 17:44 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 22 January 2007 at 13:00 in ♓ Pisces.
26 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 16 January 2007 at 22:07 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.448°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.501° at the point of next northern standstill on 29 January 2007 at 18:19 in ♊ Gemini.
In 11 days on 2 February 2007 at 05:45 in ♌ Leo the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
