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.
Lunation 347 / 1300
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 347 of Meeus index or 1300 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.81 days
Length of current 347 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 next lunation 348 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 6 hours and 41 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 22 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠161.9°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠161.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠186.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 19:53, this is 13 days after last apogee on 28 January 2028 at 15:31 in ♒ Aquarius. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 14 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 24 February 2028 at 16:26 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 356 678 km
This perigee Moon is 356 678 km (221 629 mi) away from Earth. This is the year's closest perigee of 2028. It is 5 830 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 253 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
1 day after its descending node on 9 February 2028 at 08:56 in ♌ Leo, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 22 February 2028 at 13:11 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
15 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after northern standstill
3 days after previous North standstill on 6 February 2028 at 12:59 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠26.601°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-26.565° in the next southern standstill on 19 February 2028 at 03:24 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
