Moon is passing about ∠18° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
3 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 28 February 2027 at 05:16.
Worm Moon after 18 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2027 after 18 days on 22 March 2027 at 10:44.
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 ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1935".
Lunation 335 / 1288
The Moon is 25 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 335 of Meeus index or 1288 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 33 minutes and it is 3 hours and 11 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 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 details for
True anomaly ∠210.4°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠210.4° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠242.4°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 05:41 about 11 days since last perigee on 19 February 2027 at 07:30 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the upcoming 15 days until point of next perigee on 19 March 2027 at 04:31 in ♌ Leo.
This apogee Moon is 405 221 km(251 793 mi) away from Earth. It is 187 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 1 488 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 20 February 2027 at 04:40 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 6 March 2027 at 04:41 in ♒ Aquarius.
2 days since the last southern standstill on 1 March 2027 at 09:41 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-27.684° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠27.611° at the point of next northern standstill on 15 March 2027 at 14:15 in ♊ Gemini.
In 4 days on 8 March 2027 at 09:29 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
