Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 14 February 2027 at 07:58.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♌ Leo
Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1965"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1965" and ∠1941".
Snow Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2027 after 1 day on 20 February 2027 at 23:23.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 20 February 2027 at 23:23
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 28 February 2027 at 05:16
- New Moon in Pisces ♓ on 8 March 2027 at 09:29
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 15 March 2027 at 16:25
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.
Lunation 335 / 1288
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 335 of Meeus index or 1288 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.73 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 33 minutes. It is 3 hours and 11 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 49 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 14 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠210.4°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠210.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠242.4°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 07:30. It is 15 days after previous apogee on 3 February 2027 at 13:31 in ♑ Capricorn. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 11 days, until point of next apogee on 3 March 2027 at 05:41 in ♑ Capricorn.
Distance to Moon 361 015 km
This perigee Moon is 361 015 km (224 324 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 493 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 9 341 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 6 February 2027 at 21:44 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 20 February 2027 at 04:40 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 16 February 2027 at 07:59 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.710°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.684° at the point of next southern standstill on 1 March 2027 at 09:41 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 20 February 2027 at 23:23 in ♌ Leo 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.
