Moon is passing about ∠7° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
It is Snow Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Snow of February 2026.
Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1919"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1919" and ∠1947".
Lunation 322 / 1275
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 322 of Meeus index or 1275 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 9 minutes and it is 2 hours and 47 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 25 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 38 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠239°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠239° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠276.3°.
Moon after perigee
2 days since point of perigee on 29 January 2026 at 21:53 in ♊ Gemini 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 10 February 2026 at 16:52 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 373 598 km(232 143 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 577 km(251 392 mi).
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 22 January 2026 at 00:03 in ♓ Pisces 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 3 February 2026 at 19:18 in ♍ Virgo.
2 days since the last northern standstill on 29 January 2026 at 17:02 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.361° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.406° at the point of next southern standstill on 12 February 2026 at 12:56 in ♐ Sagittarius.
