Synodic month length 29.37 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 53 minutes. It is 1 hour and 2 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the 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 3 hours and 51 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 18 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠348.7°

The true anomaly is ∠348.7°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠4°.

Moon at perigee

Moon is at perigee at 18:39. It is 12 days after previous apogee on 7 March 2007 at 03:37 in ♎ Libra. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next apogee on 3 April 2007 at 08:38 in ♎ Libra.

Previous apogeeNext apogee

Distance to Moon 357 816 km

This perigee Moon is 357 816 km (222 337 mi) away from Earth. It is 4 692 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 12 540 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.

Moon after ascending node

1 day after ascending node on 18 March 2007 at 07:40 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 31 March 2007 at 11:41 in ♍ Virgo.

Draconic month

1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.

Moon before northern standstill

6 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 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.582° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 March 2007 at 05:37 in ♊ Gemini.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy

The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
