Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1961" and ∠1928".
Pink Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2007 after 15 days on 2 April 2007 at 17:15.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Pisces ♓ on 19 March 2007 at 02:43
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 25 March 2007 at 18:16
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 2 April 2007 at 17:15
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 10 April 2007 at 18:04
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.
New lunation 88 / 1041
At 16:14 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 88 of Meeus index or 1041 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.44 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 28 minutes. It is 1 hour and 35 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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 16 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 53 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠331.4°
The true anomaly is ∠331.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠348.7°.
Moon before apogee
11 days after point of apogee on 7 March 2007 at 03:37 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 19 March 2007 at 18:39 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 365 496 km
The Moon is 365 496 km (227 109 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 816 km (222 337 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♓ Pisces at 07:40 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 12 days later on 31 March 2007 at 11:41 in ♍ Virgo.
New draconic month
At 07:40 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon after southern standstill
5 days since the previous standstill on 12 March 2007 at 16:11 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.608°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.582° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 March 2007 at 05:37 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
