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 448 / 1401
At 20:57 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 448 of Meeus index or 1401 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.53 days
29 days, 12 hours and 36 minutes is the length of new lunation 448. It is 2 hours and 52 minutes longer than next lunation 449 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 8 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 6 hours and 1 minute longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠258.5°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠258.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠292.8°. 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 after apogee
5 days after point of apogee on 21 March 2036 at 21:41 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 6 April 2036 at 09:36 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 392 402 km
Moon is 392 402 km (243 827 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 9 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 368 619 km (229 049 mi).
Moon after descending node
3 days after its descending node on 24 March 2036 at 11:54 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 10 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 6 April 2036 at 19:59 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
16 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
6 days after previous South standstill on 20 March 2036 at 12:11 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-19.336°. Next 7 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠19.439° in the next northern standstill on 3 April 2036 at 13:10 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.
