Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1771" and ∠1943".
Worm Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2037 after 15 days on 2 March 2037 at 00:28.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 15 February 2037 at 04:54
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 23 February 2037 at 06:41
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 2 March 2037 at 00:28
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 8 March 2037 at 19:25
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 458 / 1411
At 09:34 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 458 of Meeus index or 1411 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.81 days
29 days, 19 hours and 20 minutes is the length of new lunation 458. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2037. It is 38 minutes longer than next lunation 459 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 6 hours and 36 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 27 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠146.7°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠146.7°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠173.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before apogee
13 days after point of perigee on 1 February 2037 at 06:58 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next day, until it get to the point of next apogee on 15 February 2037 at 23:45 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 404 672 km
Moon is 404 672 km (251 452 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next day until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 539 km (252 612 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after its descending node on 13 February 2037 at 14:49 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 13 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 27 February 2037 at 18:35 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
14 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
3 days after previous South standstill on 11 February 2037 at 08:55 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-20.580°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠20.631° in the next northern standstill on 25 February 2037 at 22:25 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.
