Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♒ Aquarius
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♓ Pisces later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1969" and ∠1944".
Snow Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2032 after 14 days on 26 February 2032 at 07:43.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- 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
- New Moon in Pisces ♓ on 11 March 2032 at 16:25
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 397 / 1350
At 06:24 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 397 of Meeus index or 1350 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.42 days
29 days, 10 hours and 1 minute is the length of new lunation 397. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2032. It is 15 minutes shorter than next lunation 398 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 44 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 25 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠6.9°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠6.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠23.4°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 10 February 2032 at 20:46 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 12 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 23 February 2032 at 18:41 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 363 957 km
Moon is 363 957 km (226 152 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 12 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 290 km (252 457 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after its ascending node on 4 February 2032 at 11:35 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 5 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 16 February 2032 at 21:13 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
7 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
4 days after previous South standstill on 7 February 2032 at 03:44 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-20.110°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠20.009° in the next northern standstill on 19 February 2032 at 21:21 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
