Moon phase and lunation details
7 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 7 days on 31 January 2035 at 06:02.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon in ♒ Aquarius
Moon is passing about ∠9° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1814"
Lunar disc appears visually 7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1814" and ∠1945".
Snow Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2035 after 14 days on 22 February 2035 at 08:54.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- 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
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 2 March 2035 at 03:01
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Lunation 433 / 1386
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final 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 apogee
4 days after point of apogee on 2 February 2035 at 12:48 in ♐ Sagittarius. 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 18 February 2035 at 05:31 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 395 196 km
The Moon is 395 196 km (245 563 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 326 km (228 867 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after ascending node on 26 January 2035 at 19:11 in ♍ Virgo. 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 10 February 2035 at 07:03 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
11 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 4 February 2035 at 16:35 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.448°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.402° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 February 2035 at 04:16 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 8 February 2035 at 08:22 in ♒ Aquarius the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
