Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 4 February 2032 at 13:49.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon in ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1973"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1973" and ∠1944".
Snow Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2032 after 15 days on 26 February 2032 at 07:43.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- 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
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 5 March 2032 at 01:47
Moderate tide
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.
Lunation 396 / 1349
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final 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 perigee
Moon is at perigee at 20:46. It is 14 days after previous apogee on 27 January 2032 at 16:13 in ♌ Leo. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 13 days, until point of next apogee on 23 February 2032 at 18:41 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 356 948 km
This perigee Moon is 356 948 km (221 797 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 560 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 408 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
6 days after ascending node on 4 February 2032 at 11:35 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 16 February 2032 at 21:13 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
6 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 7 February 2032 at 03:44 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-20.110°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.009° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 February 2032 at 21:21 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 11 February 2032 at 06:24 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.
