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 ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1971" and ∠1936".
Worm Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2033 after 14 days on 16 March 2033 at 01:37.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 8 March 2033 at 01:27
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 16 March 2033 at 01:37
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 24 March 2033 at 01:50
- New Moon in Aries ♈ on 30 March 2033 at 17:52
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 410 / 1363
At 08:23 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 410 of Meeus index or 1363 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.39 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 28 minutes. It is 33 minutes longer 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 3 hours and 16 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 53 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠353°
The true anomaly is ∠353°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠8.3°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 18:17. It is 12 days after previous apogee on 16 February 2033 at 19:57 in ♍ Virgo. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next apogee on 15 March 2033 at 22:00 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 357 180 km
This perigee Moon is 357 180 km (221 941 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 328 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 176 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 19 February 2033 at 01:22 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 4 March 2033 at 01:01 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
10 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
5 days since the previous standstill on 24 February 2033 at 01:02 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.763°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.688° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 March 2033 at 13:21 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.
