Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
5 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 5 days on 20 March 2015 at 09:36.
Pink Moon after 10 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2015 after 10 days on 4 April 2015 at 12:06.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1872"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1872" and ∠1924".
Lunation 188 / 1141
The Moon is 6 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 188 of Meeus index or 1141 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 21 minutes and it is 5 minutes longer 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 3 hours and 23 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 46 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠9.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠9.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠27.1°.
Moon after perigee
5 days since point of perigee on 19 March 2015 at 19:38 in ♓ Pisces the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 April 2015 at 12:59 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 382 856 km(237 896 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 012 km(252 284 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 21 March 2015 at 02:19 in ♈ Aries the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 4 April 2015 at 03:17 in ♎ Libra.
11 days since the last southern standstill on 14 March 2015 at 01:39 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.262° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠18.241° at the point of next northern standstill on 26 March 2015 at 14:29 in ♊ Gemini.
In 10 days on 4 April 2015 at 12:06 in ♎ Libra 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.
