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 ♐ Sagittarius

Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♑ Capricorn later.

Apparent angular diameter

Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1820" and ∠1951".

Wolf Moon after 14 days

Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2034 after 14 days on 4 January 2034 at 19:47.

Upcoming main Moon phases

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.

At 18:46 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 420 of Meeus index or 1373 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.64 days

The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 15 minutes. It is 2 hours and 6 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 longer than mean

The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 31 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 32 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠252°

The true anomaly is ∠252°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠289°.

Moon after apogee

5 days after point of apogee on 16 December 2033 at 03:29 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 1 January 2034 at 00:06 in ♉ Taurus.

Distance to Moon 393 766 km

The Moon is 393 766 km (244 675 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 367 922 km (228 616 mi).

Moon after ascending node

6 days after ascending node on 15 December 2033 at 02:35 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 7 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 29 December 2033 at 00:23 in ♈ Aries.

Draconic month

6 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 at southern standstill

At 14:13 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-18.491°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠18.468° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 3 January 2034 at 15:55.

Previous standstillNext standstill

Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy

The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
