Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 29 March 2008 at 21:47.
Pink Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2008 after 15 days on 20 April 2008 at 10:25.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1911"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1911" and ∠1918".
Lunation 101 / 1054
The Moon is 27 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 101 of Meeus index or 1054 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 41 minutes and it is 2 hours and 18 minutes longer than the upcoming 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 3 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 6 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠310.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠310.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠332.7°.
Moon before perigee
8 days since point of apogee on 26 March 2008 at 20:13 in ♏ Scorpio the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 3 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 7 April 2008 at 19:28 in ♉ Taurus.
The Moon is 375 029 km(233 032 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 3 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 083 km(224 367 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 2 April 2008 at 15:18 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 10 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 15 April 2008 at 05:48 in ♌ Leo.
6 days since the last southern standstill on 28 March 2008 at 16:00 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.898° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.812° at the point of next northern standstill on 10 April 2008 at 17:42 in ♊ Gemini.
In 1 day on 6 April 2008 at 03:55 in ♈ Aries 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.
