Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 26 January 2028 at 15:12.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 9.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1769" and ∠1949".
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2028 after 14 days on 10 February 2028 at 15:04.
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.
The Moon is 1 day young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 347 of Meeus index or 1300 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 19 hours and 25 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2028. It is 1 hour and 31 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 6 hours and 41 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 22 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠161.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠186.5°.
14 days after point of perigee on 13 January 2028 at 07:47 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 28 January 2028 at 15:31 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 405 193 km (251 775 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next day until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 387 km (252 517 mi).
1 day after ascending node on 26 January 2028 at 07:31 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 9 February 2028 at 08:56 in ♌ Leo.
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 22 January 2028 at 21:35 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.616°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.601° at the point of next northern standstill on 6 February 2028 at 12:59 in ♊ Gemini.
In 14 days on 10 February 2028 at 15:04 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.
