Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is leaving the last ∠4° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♈ Aries later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1890" and ∠1932".

Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2035 after 13 days on 23 March 2035 at 22:42.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 16 March 2035 at 20:15
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 23 March 2035 at 22:42
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 31 March 2035 at 23:06

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 435 / 1388
At 23:09 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 435 of Meeus index or 1388 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.49 days
29 days, 11 hours and 48 minutes is the length of new lunation 435. It is 2 hours and 42 minutes longer than next lunation 436 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 56 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 13 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠291.6°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠291.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠318.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
8 days after point of apogee on 2 March 2035 at 09:34 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 15 March 2035 at 01:35 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 379 273 km
Moon is 379 273 km (235 669 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 4 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 369 413 km (229 543 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after its descending node on 9 March 2035 at 15:01 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 22 March 2035 at 12:53 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
15 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
6 days after previous South standstill on 4 March 2035 at 01:09 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.382°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.394° in the next northern standstill on 17 March 2035 at 10:06 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
