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 435 / 1388
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 435 of Meeus index or 1388 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.49 days
Length of current 435 lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 48 minutes. 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 apogee
9 days after point of perigee on 15 March 2035 at 01:35 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 5 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 30 March 2035 at 05:37 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Distance to Moon 391 777 km
Moon is 391 777 km (243 439 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 5 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 557 km (251 380 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after its ascending node on 22 March 2035 at 12:53 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 6 April 2035 at 00:06 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
1 day after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before southern standstill
7 days after previous North standstill on 17 March 2035 at 10:06 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠18.394°. Next 6 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-18.441° in the next southern standstill on 31 March 2035 at 09:27 in ♑ Capricorn.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
