Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♎ Libra later.
3 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 3 days on 30 January 2029 at 06:03.
Wolf Moon before 3 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2029 after 26 days on 28 February 2029 at 17:10.
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 ∠1972"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1947".
Lunation 359 / 1312
The Moon is 18 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 359 of Meeus index or 1312 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 7 minutes and it is 41 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 23 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 40 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠99.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠99.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠136.2°.
Moon after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 1 February 2029 at 12:21 in ♍ Virgo the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 14 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 17 February 2029 at 11:59 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 363 554 km(225 902 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 14 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 812 km(252 160 mi).
Moon after descending node
5 days after descending node on 28 January 2029 at 08:40 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 10 February 2029 at 03:07 in ♑ Capricorn.
6 days since the last northern standstill on 26 January 2029 at 12:31 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠25.172° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-25.127° at the point of next southern standstill on 8 February 2029 at 06:14 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 10 days on 13 February 2029 at 10:31 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
