Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 1 March 2014 at 08:00.
Worm Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2014 after 14 days on 16 March 2014 at 17:09.
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 ∠1926"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1926" and ∠1936".
Lunation 175 / 1128
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 175 of Meeus index or 1128 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 45 minutes and it is 45 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit 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 1 hour and 59 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 10 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠25.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠25.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠46.9°.
Moon after perigee
2 days since point of perigee on 27 February 2014 at 19:52 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 March 2014 at 19:46 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is 372 136 km(231 235 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 367 km(251 883 mi).
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 20 February 2014 at 03:28 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 4 March 2014 at 17:45 in ♈ Aries.
6 days since the last southern standstill on 24 February 2014 at 01:24 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.175° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.084° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 March 2014 at 22:54 in ♊ Gemini.
In 14 days on 16 March 2014 at 17:09 in ♍ Virgo 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.
