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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 1 minute. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2032. It is 15 minutes shorter 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 44 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 25 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠6.9°
The true anomaly is ∠6.9°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠23.4°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 10 February 2032 at 20:46 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 23 February 2032 at 18:41 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 363 957 km
The Moon is 363 957 km (226 152 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 290 km (252 457 mi).
Moon before descending node
7 days after ascending node on 4 February 2032 at 11:35 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 16 February 2032 at 21:13 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
7 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
4 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 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠20.009° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 February 2032 at 21:21 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
