Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunset and sets at sunrise. It is visible all night and it is high in the sky around midnight.
Moon in ♌ Leo
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1918"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1918" and ∠1949".

Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 31 January 2035 at 06:02
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 8 February 2035 at 08:22
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 15 February 2035 at 13:17
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 22 February 2035 at 08:54
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 433 / 1386
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 433 of Meeus index or 1386 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.72 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 19 minutes. It is 2 hours and 32 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 4 hours and 35 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 28 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠220.5°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠220.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠255.7°.
Moon after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 21 January 2035 at 18:05 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 2 February 2035 at 12:48 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 373 744 km
The Moon is 373 744 km (232 234 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 000 km (251 655 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after descending node on 14 January 2035 at 03:01 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 26 January 2035 at 19:11 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
24 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 21 January 2035 at 19:52 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.494°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.448° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 February 2035 at 16:35 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.
