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 399 / 1352
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 399 of Meeus index or 1352 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.46 days
Length of current 399 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 56 minutes. It is 1 hour shorter than next lunation 400 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 48 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 21 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠44.4°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠44.4°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠73.2°. 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 apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 19 April 2032 at 03:02 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 3 May 2032 at 20:49 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 388 565 km
Moon is 388 565 km (241 443 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 8 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 369 512 km (229 604 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♏ Scorpio at 21:52 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 13 days to meet descending node on 8 May 2032 at 20:11 in ♉ Taurus.
New draconic month
At 21:52 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
Moon before southern standstill
10 days after previous North standstill on 14 April 2032 at 13:29 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠19.650°. Next 3 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-19.640° in the next southern standstill on 28 April 2032 at 22:45 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
