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 422 / 1375
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 422 of Meeus index or 1375 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.46 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 4 minutes. It is 1 hour and 53 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 1 hour and 40 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 29 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠317.3°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠317.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠337.6°.
Moon before perigee
11 days after point of perigee on 21 February 2034 at 15:30 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 9 March 2034 at 16:05 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 398 861 km
The Moon is 398 861 km (247 841 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 4 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 268 km (251 822 mi).
Moon before ascending node
12 days after descending node on 21 February 2034 at 05:47 in ♈ Aries. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 6 March 2034 at 14:21 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
26 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
6 days since the previous standstill on 27 February 2034 at 06:42 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.195°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.147° at the point of next southern standstill on 13 March 2034 at 19:10 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.
