Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
6 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 6 days on 26 February 2032 at 07:43.
Snow Moon before 6 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2032 after 23 days on 27 March 2032 at 00:46.
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 ∠1890"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1890" and ∠1935".
Lunation 397 / 1350
The Moon is 20 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 397 of Meeus index or 1350 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 1 minute and it is 15 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2032. 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 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 details for
True anomaly ∠6.9°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠6.9° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠23.4°.
Moon before perigee
8 days since point of apogee on 23 February 2032 at 18:41 in ♌ Leo the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 10 March 2032 at 06:54 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 379 193 km(235 620 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 020 km(223 706 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 2 March 2032 at 12:11 in ♏ Scorpio the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 15 March 2032 at 02:16 in ♉ Taurus.
12 days since the last northern standstill on 19 February 2032 at 21:21 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.009° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-19.866° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 March 2032 at 11:40 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 8 days on 11 March 2032 at 16:25 in ♓ Pisces 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.
