Worm Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2015 after 15 days on 5 March 2015 at 18:06.
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.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1969" and ∠1941".
New lunation 187 / 1140
At 23:47 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 187 of Meeus index or lunation 1140 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 49 minutes. It is 28 minutes longer than the next 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 2 hours and 55 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 14 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠354.5°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit is ∠354.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠9.9°.
Moon before perigee
12 days since point of apogee on 6 February 2015 at 06:25 in ♍ Virgo 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 February 2015 at 07:29 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 364 103 km(226 243 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 356 992 km(221 825 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 8 February 2015 at 17:10 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 21 February 2015 at 16:05 in ♈ Aries.
3 days since the last southern standstill on 14 February 2015 at 17:17 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.402° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.335° at the point of next northern standstill on 27 February 2015 at 07:19 in ♊ Gemini.
