Moon in ♒ Aquarius

Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.

Apparent angular diameter

Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1898" and ∠1948".

At 12:36 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 310 of Meeus index or 1263 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.51 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 9 minutes. It is 1 hour and 56 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the 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 35 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 34 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠305.9°

The true anomaly is ∠305.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠329.3°.

Moon before apogee

8 days after point of apogee on 21 January 2025 at 04:55 in ♎ Libra. 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 2 February 2025 at 02:43 in ♈ Aries.

Distance to Moon 377 724 km

The Moon is 377 724 km (234 707 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 3 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 457 km (228 327 mi).

Moon before ascending node

10 days after descending node on 19 January 2025 at 01:48 in ♍ Virgo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 1 February 2025 at 22:06 in ♓ Pisces.

Moon after southern standstill

2 days since the previous standstill on 26 January 2025 at 13:27 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.534°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.599° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 February 2025 at 10:40 in ♊ Gemini.

Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy

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