Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1959" and ∠1947".
Snow Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2033 after 13 days on 14 February 2033 at 07:04.

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 409 / 1362
At 22:00 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 409 of Meeus index or 1362 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.43 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 24 minutes. It is 56 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 20 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 49 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠336.6°
The true anomaly is ∠336.6°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠353°.
Moon before apogee
11 days after point of apogee on 20 January 2033 at 07:04 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 1 February 2033 at 07:27 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 365 823 km
The Moon is 365 823 km (227 312 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 085 km (223 746 mi).
Moon before descending node
8 days after ascending node on 22 January 2033 at 23:41 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 4 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 4 February 2033 at 19:25 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
8 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days since the previous standstill on 27 January 2033 at 14:55 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.973°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.889° at the point of next northern standstill on 9 February 2033 at 07:09 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.
