Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♌ Leo
Moon is passing about ∠7° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 9.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1949".
It is Wolf Moon
The Full Moon this days is the Wolf of January 2032.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 4 February 2032 at 13:49
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 11 February 2032 at 06:24
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 18 February 2032 at 03:29
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 26 February 2032 at 07:43
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 396 / 1349
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 396 of Meeus index or 1349 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.43 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 18 minutes. It is 18 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 27 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 43 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠351.6°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠351.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠6.9°.
Moon at apogee
Moon is at apogee at 16:13. It is 14 days after previous perigee on 13 January 2032 at 07:55 in ♑ Capricorn. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next perigee on 10 February 2032 at 20:46 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 406 533 km
This apogee Moon is 406 533 km (252 608 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 125 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 176 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
6 days after descending node on 20 January 2032 at 20:00 in ♉ Taurus. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 4 February 2032 at 11:35 in ♏ Scorpio.
Draconic month
19 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 23 January 2032 at 14:33 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.240°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.110° at the point of next southern standstill on 7 February 2032 at 03:44 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
