Moon is passing first ∠4° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1845"
Lunar disc appears visually 3.3% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1845" and ∠1907".

Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 2 May 2032 at 16:02
- New Moon in Taurus ♉ on 9 May 2032 at 13:36
- First Quarter in Leo ♌ on 17 May 2032 at 09:43
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 25 May 2032 at 02:37
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
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 56 minutes. It is 1 hour 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 1 hour and 48 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 21 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠44.4°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠44.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠73.2°.
Moon after apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 19 April 2032 at 03:02 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 3 May 2032 at 20:49 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 388 565 km
The Moon is 388 565 km (241 443 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 8 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 369 512 km (229 604 mi).
Moon in ascending node
Moon is in ascending node in ♏ Scorpio at 21:52 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 13 days later on 8 May 2032 at 20:11 in ♉ Taurus.
New draconic month
At 21:52 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
Moon before southern standstill
10 days since the previous standstill on 14 April 2032 at 13:29 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.650°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.640° at the point of next southern standstill on 28 April 2032 at 22:45 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
